Has anyone here seen/tried SDRoxide yet?
Not sharing this post as a link because I am not affiliated with the project and know very little about it, but the website is here (and their Github). It is a:
> ...PowerSDR/Thetis-style software-defined-radio transceiver client in Rust, with pluggable radio backends (SoapySDR, OpenHPSDR, TCI, SmartSDR, Icom LAN, and CAT), an egui GUI, and a cyberpunk theme. It runs as a native desktop application and, from the same binary, as a server that streams the same UI to a web browser over WebSocket. It includes an integrated, persistent logbook, many digital modes like FT8/FT4/FT2 built-in, and TCI and Hamlib rigctld servers so third-party programs like WSJT-X can use it as their radio.
My first impression of the UI is that it looks a lot like OpenHamClock, the putative replacement for the recently-defunct HamClock. It also appears to behave the same; you can run it locally (i.e. on the machine you're actually sitting in front of) or in a client/server mode using your favorite flavor of container. In fact, with the space weather features, satellite tracking, DX cluster ops, and others, it could conceivably replace OpenHamClock (NB: While also not affiliated with that project, I do run OpenHamClock and if you haven't seen it, it's definitely an evolutionary leap forward while not losing sight of what Elwood Downey WB0OEW (SK) was doing).
I'm not of an opinion either way regarding the big push on using Rust for All The Things--OpenHamClock uses nodejs which has its own issues--but even the websites look similar. The dev says this is an early beta and stuff may of course not work (or at least not properly) but this thing promises a LOT of capabilities in one (software) box. I'm in the middle of a household remodeling job so I haven't had time to mess with it myself, but has anyone else taken this thing for a spin?
