software suggestion ?

[scottjge]

I just got a Ten Tec Argonaut V that can be connected to a computer serial port for control. Everything that I can find on the web for software runs on a windows machine. I was wondering if anyone knows of any GUI software for radio control that runs on Linux? I have goggled but have only found windows software.

Any ideas or suggestion ?

Thanks,
Glenn

I think some of these types of devices are supported but it is probably a very short list.

Ya, I know. that seems to be my luck. I finally got a OS that acts the way that it is suppose to and one that I love and then all my equipment doesn't work. I like to program AVR chips for a hobby and do Amateur Radio. I am finding it very hard to interface with the rest of the Hams at times because most use Windows.
I will keep looking and trying but I don't think that I will find much.

Thanks for your reply,

You must mean in radio talk, since the equipment being used, is only part of the discussion
--I did read a HAM radio builders book once, which I found very interesting (electronics/homebrew)

Doc, where do you find all this stuff? I have looked and looked and never come up with any of the links you come up with. I was goggling for control software for Amateur Radio's. I guess I had better take a course on searching criteria for goggle.

I want to thank you a million, again ! You save the day for me. I have to go do a lot of reading and learning now. Again, thank you for taking the time to help me out yet again, I sure do appreciate it.

Many thanks.
