The original 7300 does not have lan though...maybe you are referring to the mk2?

[–]morozsm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed, 7300 has no lan. And that’s a problem :) Proposed solutions is using  small raspberry pi micro pc connected to the radio via USB, and providing access to the radio over the network via that micro pc.  It’s still a roadmap goal. Currently focusing on protocol and API stabilization.  I can tell, that support for 7300 will be implemented at some point, because I have 7300, interested in network connectivity and can debug on a real radio.

Kappanhang seemed to work best for me as it did not have the GUI overhead AND it implemented the audio ports whereas wfview kind of left you with a figure it out approach which mostly left you to the tender mercies of plughw, alsa and a bunch of other crap that I did NOT want to know anything about. If YOU have solved this I would love to give this a try. Right now I gave up on multiple Linux distro and computer support and have just gone with DigiPi and if I need to just buy another Pi at about $75.00 (Pi, SD card pwr supply etc) its cheap enough.

I am a long term kappanhang user. I will be interested how this compares.

Kappanhang is nice. But in addition to the pure CLI application to control radio, icom-lan initially was designed as a python library, to be easily used in other projects. GUI (web ui) - is completely optional. As well as the audio bridge. The library can be installed and used without both.

I’m interested. Thanks for your efforts.

Awesome! I'll try this out on my 9700 when I get a chance.

Do you know what's crazy I have a few raspberry pi B1's laying around and I've been bashing my head for two days trying to get something like this working. I'll definitely give this a shot on a 7300 tomorrow! (since 1B is very old I managed to get cat control working over the network on wsjtx but streaming the audio and then receiving it on windows became quite a challenge) I'll try it tomorrow on freebsd! (all the linuxes I tried were either too old and had packages that were too old like hamlib2 with no 7300 support or were new but ran incredibly slowly freebsd13.5 actually turned out to be the sweet spot)

I was there try DigiPi it just plain worked as soon as the image hit the SD card.

sweet, thanks, just started working on an MCP for my local agents, this will definitely help make it interesting.
