 # All-Python FT8 Transceiver GUI / Command Line Modem

 This repository contains the source code for PyFT8, an all-Python open source FT8 transceiver that you can run as a basic GUI or from the command line to receive and transmit. Decoding performance (number of decodes) is about 70% of that achieved by WSJT-x in NORM mode, but (tbc) slightly above ft8_lib. 
 
 PyFT8 is somewhat experimental, with a focus on demonstrating FT8 written in Python, but can be used as a standalone replacement for WSJT-x and other software.

 ### Rig control 
 I've included the Python code that I use with my Icom IC-7100 in the file 'rigctrl.py', and believe I've moved sufficient 'specification' for the rig protocol into the .ini file so that you can paste in your own rig specification (see for e.g. the Omnirig .ini file for your rig) and get it working with PyFT8 controlling PTT and frequency. I designed this code to drop the serial connection when it's not required, so that the rig's serial port can be accessed by other software at the same time (assuming that the other software returns the favour and doesn't permanently hog the serial port).
