CAT control for Linux

Is CAT control for Linux on the horizon?

@KC1UUH Hey Doug,

The current cat control app will most likely be sunsetted when we launch the desktop app due to cat control being integrated natively into the desktop app. The desktop app will of course work on linux too :wink:

Desktop app? Wow, that sounds great.

You guys would be gods if you could make something on Linux that straightens out the com ports, in/out audio ports, levels etc. I’ve never experienced a more painful technical obstacle in my life as trying to get Flrig, Fldigi, Js8call, and Wsjtx all working happily. I’m on Linux Mint, with an Icom706mkiig, icom706, and a Yaesu FTDX-1200.

If you guys want to add me to your testing list I’d be happy to test things as I get time to, and can send you back feedback.

I’ve noticed you guys seem to really know what you’re doing. Your apps are excellent. Much appreciated. As you know, the radio space really needs help in this area.

@KC1UUH Hey Doug,

Thank you so much! It really means a lot to us! We are still a month or so out from launching the desktop app as we are finishing a major database upgrade at the moment. Once that is completed and launched we’ll be shifting focus on finalizing the desktop app.

Goto this page and just post a comment and i’ll get you access to the dev group :

Hi, any updated ETA on the new desktop app? Dying to get my radio talking to WRL but I don’t want to do that hairy “soon to be sunsetted” CAT integration thing.

We are finishing up our major database upgrade and once that is released all hands will be on deck to finalize the desktop app.
