The SvxLink project is developing a flexible, general purpose voice |
|
|
|
services system for ham radio use. |
|
|
|
The SvxLink Server consists of a core that handles the connection to |
|
|
|
the transceiver. The core can be configured to act as a repeater |
|
|
|
controller or to operate on a simplex channel. The voice services are |
|
|
|
loaded into the core as plugins. |
|
|
|
The project also includes an EchoLink client GUI application (Qtel). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The biggest news in this release is the initial revision of the |
|
|
|
SvxReflector application. The SvxReflector application is meant to be used |
|
|
|
as a center point to link SvxLink nodes together. |
|
|
|
The SvxLink Server is a general purpose voice services system, |
|
|
|
which when connected to a transceiver, can act as both an advanced repeater |
|
|
|
system and can also operate on a simplex channel. One could call it a radio |
|
|
|
operating system since it sits between the hardware (transceiver) and the |
|
|
|
applications (modules) and handle basic system services as well as input and output. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SvxLink is very extensible and modular. Voice services are implemented as modules |
|
|
|
which are isolated from each other. Modules can be implemented in either C++ or TCL. |

The project also includes Qtel, the Qt EchoLink client, is a graphical |
|
|
|
application used to access the EchoLink network. |

You can build only svxlink server (no Qtel) by passing QTEL=NO to the script: |
