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.

For the record, my current "I want to #HamRadio from my desk" setup is:
1. https://gitlab.com/b4ux1t3/RigControl.Net This lets me remotely control a rigctld server in order to trigger PTT on a #digirig
2. https://www.sonobus.net/ this lets me pipe audio over my network.

All I want is a program that does both of those things in one program without buying a $1k+ radio, and without me having to write it into my app up there. :(

And, like, yeah, I want to be able to control a radio directly from the computer I'm at, too, but if I'm that close to it, I can just pick the radio up.

I think another bit of context here is that I currently only have HTs. I don;t have any mobile radios nor base stations, so, like, what a lot of hams would consider "straightforward and easy" is an exercise in nightmarish complexity (ahem, I had to write a rigctld client, wtf).

"Just buy a radio that does this!" pffffffffffft. Do you know how much a septic system costs to replace?
