3. Remote Control

The Python module used in netradio for accessing AR7030.

Generic aor.py

Update July 2022

I've modified the server/client code to create a single-radio AR7030 control program that gives access to IF filter, and reads s-meter etc.

New (July 2022) version of Tkinter GUI with S-Meter graph and IF filter Selection

New (July 2022) version of aor module, with access to IF filter selection

New (July 2022) server with AR7030 filter selection
