Linux Radio Transmission Decoder.

The Multimon software can decode a variety of digital transmission modes commonly found on UHF radio. A standard PC soundcard is used to acquire the signal from a transceiver. The decoding is done completely in software. Currently, the following modes are supported:

    AX.25
        1200 Baud AFSK
        2400 Baud AFSK (2 variants)
        4800 Baud HAPN
        9600 Baud FSK (G3RUH)
    POCSAG
        512 Baud
        1200 Baud
        2400 Baud
    Miscellaneous
        DTMF
        ZVEI

An arbitrary set of the above modes may run concurrently on the same input signal (provided the CPU power is sufficient), so you do not have to know in advance which mode is used. Note however that some modes might require modifications to the radio (especially the 9600 baud FSK and the POCSAG modes) to work properly. POCSAG (Post Office Code Standards Advisory Group) is a common paging transmission format.

'Morse Classic' is a morse-code training program for aspiring radio hams.

It can generate random tests or simulated QSOs resembling those used in the ARRL test (a QSO generator is included).

There are a plethora of options to vary the training method. In one of the simpler modes, this program will take text from standard input and render it as Morse-code beeps.

Marote Rig Control Program for the Elecraft K2.

This program uses a nice Qt GUI to control the Elecraft K2 amateur radio transmitter/receiver.

See http://www.elecraft.com for a description of the K2.

The serial port can be used with marote to control most of the K2's functionality.
