Speaking of things I've been meaning to post about #HamRadio: Does anyone know of any software that lets you pipe your computer's microphone out to a radio input through, for example, a #digirig? I don't mean remote control software for a radio (Though I also want that, I have a whole series of toots on the old account about that), I mean software specifically for operating devices like the digirig or #aioc

Toggles the PTT using a serial device, outputs audio from mic, nothing else.

@b4ux1t3 What OS is this on?

Pipewire on Linux would probably handle the audio routing minus PTT control, it wouldn't be hard to whip up a small script that gave you PTT control.

@stuartl "yes" Hahaha.

I _mostly_ do mobile ham stuff from my mac, but I would be more interested in using Linux or Windows for this particular use case (that is, from my desk).

I've been (slowly) building my own software to do this remotely; I currently trigger the PTT with a TCP -> rigctld packet and sonobus for audio transport, but I just keep coming back to "this has to be solved already".
