Remotely control gqrx while keeping your bookmarks in order.
Remotely control gqrx while keeping your bookmarks in order. Interacts with gqrx using the rigctl protocol (which is partially implemented since gqrx v2.3).
Next versions will also feature:
See the issue tracker. Suggestions are welcome!
Note: The latest official gqrx release is 2.2. You may need to compile gqrx straight from the source.
You just need to download and run gqrx-remote.py
.
For instance, using Linux / Mac OS X, you may do:
$ git clone https://github.com/marmelo/gqrx-remote.git
$ cd gqrx-remote
$ chmod +x gqrx-remote.py
$ ./gqrx-remote.py
$ # if your system is not yet using Python 3.x by default
$ python3 gqrx-remote.py
If you are using Windows you just need to double-click the gqrx-remote.py
file (as the .py
file type is most likely already bound with python
executable). If you want to get rid of the anoying command-line that is always running in background you may rename gqrx-remote.py
to gqrx-remote.pyw
and Windows will use the pythonw
executable instead (which does not need the command-line).
This software is built using Python default GUI -- Tkinter with Ttk -- which allows us to have an almost-native cross-platform look and feel while using the same code.
