Hi all, You may not remember, but early in the development of Codec2 (~2016) a piece of code "freebeacon.c" was written as a reverse beacon. It received and decoded a Codec2 signal, compiled stats, bit errors, and transmitted that information back in the text space along with a Codec2 encoded audio ident.
I modified that code a bit, and it now transmits back the full received QSO. I called it "parrot". The hardware in use here: ==== Antenna ==== A backyard wire loop and a Yaesu AT200 tuner ==== Transceiver ==== Yaesu FT-897D ==== Audio and PTT interface ==== Home made, two isolation transformers to line level Behringer UCA202 USB to line level sound device PTT via opto-isolator to a USB RS232 adapter, DTR ==== Computer ==== Raspberry Pi (clone) actually a Banana Pi M2 Berry (because it has a SATA port on which is an SSD for root) ==== Computer OS ==== Linux, any flavor, actually Fedora 30 armv7hl Received audio files here: www.unixservice.com.au/parrot/700e --------------------------------------------------- Alan VK2ZIW Before the Big Bang, God, Sela.
