[QRP-L] PSK31 Software for Linux

[Rod Ai7NN]

Folks,

Looking at PSK31 programs for Linux, so far I found:

KPSK -- http://kpsk.sourceforge.net/
LinPSK -- http://linpsk.sourceforge.net/
xpsk31, lpsk31 -- http://5b4az.mattsnetwork.co.uk/pages/digital.html
gpsk -- http://www.qsl.net/pg4i/linux/gpsk31.html

So far I like KDE the best, emulates the look and feel of digipan. Or
so it seems reviewing it on paper.

If I switch to Linux, I'll likely use KDE, but if I don't, I'd like to
know about alternative PSK31 programs. Minimum requirements are tuning
indicator, text file transmission. Desired features are: waterfall
display, QSO logging, multi-freq. display/QSO monitoring. Serial port
control is not necessary, I'll be using VOX control.

I don't have Linux up and running yet, still evaluating the
availability of all other applications I need/want. So, I can't really
test things myself. Will appreciate any comments/hints/pointers to
reviews...etc.

I have been using gmfsk a lot http://gmfsk.connect.fi/
It supports many digital modes + CW, has tuning indicator, waterfall,
spectrum scope and best of all, it can extract QSO data from the
received text, create a log entry and send it to xlog. I have been
using the 0.7pre1 version for a long time now and it has never crashed
for me.

You didn't mention gMFSK, which supports the most mode and has a large
number of features, including K2 rig control support..  LinPSK has one
edgeF simultaneous decode of 2 signals, and gpsk has a pretty new GUI
and we hope for more, but few modes or features at the moment.  All will
work in Gnome or KDE just fine.

gmsfk is available for FreeBSD too.
I am using KDE on FreeBSD 6.0.

I also recommend gMFSK.  To get the rig control features you will  
also need to install hamlib.

The most comprehensive list of amateur radio apps for Linux (with  
links to the software) can be found at <http://radio.linux.org.au>.  
Debian and Ubuntu (or Kubuntu for KDE) have probably the most ham  
software already packaged if you are hesitant to compile it  
yourself.  Ubuntu will even send CDs at no cost
<https://shipit.ubuntu.com>.
