Dear SDR enthusiasts,
<br>
<br>
there are different motivations for people involved in latest art
SDRs. Most people here develop HW & SW on a voluntary base in
their free time to contribute something outstanding to the HAM
radio community, to radio development overall and maybe also drive
technology to a new level. You can not imagine how big the 'Thank
You' is from those people who know what it takes to develop such
HW & SW!
<br>
<br>
On the other side this project has left by far the enthusiast's
group as Apache Labs drives distribution of ANANs through major
HAM suppliers to a much wider audience. Maybe not to make a
fortune, but clearly to run a business. But this wider audience
has different needs. They will for sure honor latest fancy
developments in DSP but their major contact with 'the project' is
the GUI. Their expectation is to have a state of the art interface
like CUSDR, VAC and virtual COM integration etc. They will
benchmark every development against Flexradio, other SDR-software,
even against IC7300 and new rigs with renewed interface/GUI.
<br>
<br>
Here is the issue. Does the core team has enough motivation to
invest a lot of time on something 'boring' like a new GUI and
driver integration with the next project already in progress?
Probably not. Is Apache Labs able to rework the business case and
invest time and money in software development for a state of the
art software adaption with a focus on GUI and driver integration?
Who knows?
<br>
<br>
The only fact is that there are thousands of OMs out there, owning
an ANAN who have a strong desire to get a software like CUSDR for
RX/TX up and running soon. From my perspective, if there is no
plan to provide a new GUI there is a risk that current perception
of the great HPSDR project could be negatively influenced. The
question of a discussion should be 'How' to get a new GUI, not
'If'.
