[chirp_users] Command line possible?

Tue Feb 4 16:18:48 PST 2014

So you leave these options:
1. run a serial cable along with the control cable, as Milton pointed out
2. maybe run some kind of serial over tcp/ip, like ser2net (personally havent used it)

Chirp is GUI based, and would not be trivial to decouple it or make it "curses".
Actually now that I think of it, it might be interesting to allow clone-mode or file-mode radios to do one-shot operations (like upload/download, export, etc) from command-line, but that is something that doesnt exist today...

I'm not getting the jist of your message, Milton.

The rig is 45m away from the control head and works fine as far as operating the rig goes.  I use it all the time.  It is better to run a signal cable up to the roof that RG8!

I want to program it from an embedded PC in an adjacent NEMA12 cabinet, about 30cm way up in the boiler room.

The PC is controllable from the apartment five floors below using SSH, but I don't want to start x or vnc since they suck down too many cycles and kill my feed to liveATC.net.

It would be nice if it programmed via the mic jack, I could walk over to the cupboard in my apt. and hook up my laptop!

does that help to explain my situation better?
