Features

Main features:

• FFT and waterfall view (bandwidth depends on your soundcard)
• Change center (local oscillator) frequency by clicking FFT view

And some features included for utility:

• WebSocket server which can manipulate KX3's text buffer for sending CW/RTTY
• HTTP server which serves some utility (eg. Sending CW code from Mac)

Requirements

• Stereo LINE-IN Sound Card
• KX3 USB Cable connected to ACC1

Configure

See config.json

1. Change "port" -> "name" to path of USB serial device file (typically /dev/tty.usbserial-*)
2. Check the "port" -> "baudrate" is same as KX3's RS-232 setting
3. Change "input" -> "name","samplerate" to match as your input device (or just remove to use system default)

Usage

Run:

./go-KX3-panadapter --config ./config.json
