What Linux app would you recommend that offers DominoEX, especially DEX11 = -12 and DEX22 = -9 with and without FEC?
I am in the midst of a major reorganization of my radio room and may dedicate a Kenwood TS-180 to digital modes, including DominoEX and also sstv, dsstv, PSK31, etc ... seems there are new digital modes or updates to existing ones every week! I need to find an affordable older laptop and run the tiny Puppy Linux OS with digital modes on it. Possibly an older IBM 600-series as they are very reliable and lots of parts are available. Whatever I can be sure will be natively compatible with Linux and will run directly (if not charge the internal battery) on 12vdc.
