In 2021, the german #DARC received 179,690€ from the #ARDC to correct and update the #Linux #AX25 #packetradio #kernel stack.

Since that day, NOTHING is available anywhere. The dedicated web site (linux-ax25.org) is non-existant and all about this project (and the money) vanished.

Has anyone any information about the status of this project? Where is the code? Where the money went?

Had a great time last night at the Radio and Electronic Association of Southern Tasmania’s Wednesday Night Experimenters Group meeting.

The DATV Broadcast went into a deep dive on Tom Moffat and early packet radio, which I have been dabbling in a lot more recently.

First time in a long time I have stayed to watch the broadcast and had a wonderful catch up with VK7TW after it.

Currently I am developing a cross-platform #PacketRadio client. Supported are Hardware TNC's via Hostmode and Soft/Sound Modems via AGW Server. The software is OpenSource and will be released next year. As you can see from the screenshot, the communication works perfectly. ANSI color codes are also supported. I will publish the features step by step in the coming months. Of course, I am also happy to receive feature requests from the Radio community. #hamradio #ax25
