- SRCOM plugins can place .cmd files in BeforeTX, OnStartTX, and AfterTX, and they will be run accordingly.
- SRCOM comes with a roger beep plugin, a callsign ID plugin, and a busy channel lockout plugin. (note: Busy channel lockout plugin requires Voicemeeter macros).
Notes
- Made for use with a Digirig, a cheap device that allows interfacing with radios that do not have serial or digital connection.
- Should work with any COM based PTT trigger and soundcard setup
- Busy Channel Lockout Plugin Requires Voicemeeter.
- Designed and tested with Voicemeeter setup in mind.
Example Voicemeeter setup:
Languages / Open Source
All of the program is written open source or using open source tools except for one small file, KBD.exe. KBD.exe is a file I found a long time ago that allows listening for any key type that is pressed with a console window open. This allows me to listen for the space bar and DTMF keys. It is only used in that mode. I believe it is made by microsoft but cannot find a source for it.
3rd party open-source tools used:
- SoundPlayer (To play sound to specific output).
- ffmpeg to convert audio files to WAV.
Installation
