@Yumquotient@ai6yr I achieved #VARA with #PAT fairly successful with #wine on Manjaro in my #toughbook fz-g1. It is my primary go to device for #radio and #gis related field work. It also works fine with #ARDOP and #direwolf. Probably you could run RMS express too but pat is enough for my uses for now. If you need helo let me know.
Do you think we've had enough closed, irreproducible, proprietary digital modes contaminating the #hamradio hobby (#ROS, #VARA, #DMR, #YSF, #DSTAR, etc.)? Well, now we've got #LORA for #APRS.
No: ham radio should be based on open, free standards. There are plenty of free, open, well documented digital modes (#FT8, #JS9, #WSPR, #M17, #PSK, #Olivia, #RTTY) in addition to the oldest-ever digital mode (#CW). Please support ways of operation everyone can inspect, modify, or build a radio around.
