Do you intend to release the specifications for the protocol you are using? For example, would I be able to hook a computer with gnuradio up to a MURS radio and write software that could communicate with a goTenna?
http://www.radiocells.org/ if you want something that's opensource both software and data. You can download whole database of wifis and cells from radiocells.
Minimodem is a similar piece of software, but much more flexible. Depending on the quality of your link, you can adjust the symbol rate, as well as the frequencies to signal 1's and 0's.
Still (as said before) not more useful to me than as a weekend project. I used it a few times with my CB radios to see how far I could transmit 1200 and 300 baud.
Not using GNU Radio but perhaps you might be interested in http://www.whence.com/minimodem/. It only supports really old standards, up to 1200bps. But later modems should, in theory, be backward compatible so if you don't care about speed this could possibly work.
From a quick glance, it's a custom radio packet using a common 2.4 GHz proprietary radio (clone of nrf 24L01), and it doesn't really need more than that. Adding complex pairing and so on would likely kill this fun passion project way long before finishing.
ARDOP[0] is the planned replacement data protocol for Winlink, and is slowly shaping out to be a faster, OS-agnostic open source system.
Unfortunately, there's still a FCC limit[1] on HAM radio "symbol rate", which hamstrings these systems by forcing low bandwidth operation, though there has been some official traction in updating the rules.
Well, no, not exactly. I don't want to run an IRCd. I want it to output to a specific channel on a public network. I think I've found something, just haven't played with it yet.
I've successfully used srsENB as a base station, largely to generate "model" LTE waveforms so that I could then decode them and verify my understanding. srsLTE is quite well written code-wise and is actively improving/growing. Seems to have a supportive single company and community behind it.
OpenAirInterface is more geared towards 5G research and is a lot more ad-hoc in terms of documentation and capabilities.
It's just an old HP Proliant home server with a USB sound dongle, and VLC transcoding from ALSA PCM to Opus and serving HTTP. VLC does it all!
My radio has a WiFi interface, but it's weird and unreliable (only supports RTSP, 401s if the requested host isn't its internal IP, crashes after 12 hours, etc). So I just use a short analog audio cable instead.
1) PiHole. I'm upgrading this to a RasPi4 and seeing if I can also merge 2) 5) and 6) into it.
2) NAS/VPN/Media Server/Hass.io
3) RTL-SDR for ADS-B Receiver feeding to numerous data warehouses (Flightaware, ADS-B Exchange, PlaneFinder, etc)
4) Connected to RTL-SDR and running rtltcp for generic HF/VHF/UHF radio receiving which was previously part of a SATNOGS automatic cubesat/Amsat/ISS receiver build I've not completed yet.
5) Debian desktop on my workbench
6) A Pi Zero W running a ZNC IRC bouncer
7) Experimenting with remote ham radio control but linux-based ham radio software is still a bit too frustrating, so this isn't an active project.
8) Two extra RasPis and three PiZeroW's just lying around because Microcenter always has them for ridiculously low prices.
That sounds like a way to write programs that use a bluetooth attached gotenna. Is that correct?
What I am asking is, could I talk to a gotenna using another radio setup of my own creation. Are you publishing enough information about gotenna for me to do that?
