sjgandClaude Opus 5 1bc2c88e2f [chore](trx-rs): vendor the APRS symbol sprite sheets
The web UI had no symbol graphics at all, so a position report rendered
its raw symbol character in a bordered box.  Vendor rev H of the
hessu/aprs-symbols set: three 24px sheets (primary, alternate, and the
overlay characters) plus their retina variants.

The set carries no single license.  Individual symbols are variously
vectorizations of the original WA8LMF bitmaps with unknown terms, new
CC BY-SA work by OH7LZB, public-domain or CC sources, and a handful of
brand logos owned by their companies.  Record that as
LicenseRef-APRS-Symbols with the upstream per-symbol catalogue copied
verbatim, and carry the attribution pointer upstream asks for.

# trx-rs
A modular amateur radio control stack written in Rust.
[![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-GPL--2.0--or--later-blue.svg)](LICENSES)
</div>
`trx-rs` splits radio hardware access from user-facing interfaces so you can run
rig control, SDR DSP, decoding, audio streaming, and web access as separate,
composable pieces.
| | |
|---|---|
| **Backends** | Yaesu FT-817, Yaesu FT-450D, SoapySDR |
| **Frontends** | Web UI, rigctl-compatible TCP, JSON-over-TCP |
| **Decoders** | AIS, APRS, CW, FT8, RDS, VDES, WSPR |
| **Audio** | Opus streaming between server, client, and browser |
## Quick Start
### 1. Install dependencies
<details>
<summary><b>Debian / Ubuntu</b></summary>
```bash
sudo apt install build-essential pkg-config cmake libopus-dev libasound2-dev
# Optional — SDR support
sudo apt install libsoapysdr-dev
```
</details>
<details>
<summary><b>Fedora</b></summary>
```bash
sudo dnf install gcc pkg-config cmake opus-devel alsa-lib-devel
# Optional — SDR support
sudo dnf install SoapySDR-devel
```
</details>
<details>
<summary><b>Arch Linux</b></summary>
```bash
sudo pacman -S base-devel pkgconf cmake opus alsa-lib
# Optional — SDR support
sudo pacman -S soapysdr
```
</details>
<details>
<summary><b>macOS (Homebrew)</b></summary>
```bash
brew install cmake opus
# Optional — SDR support
brew install soapysdr
```
</details>
See [Build Requirements](https://git.haxx.space/sjg/trx-rs/wiki/User-Manual#build-requirements)
in the wiki for details on each library.
> **Note:** `cmake` is required even when a system Opus library is installed.
> The `audiopus_sys` crate probes for Opus via `pkg-config`; if it is not found
> (or `pkg-config` is unavailable), it falls back to compiling a vendored copy
> of Opus with CMake. A missing `cmake` therefore fails the build with
> `is cmake not installed?` rather than a missing-Opus error.
### 2. Build
```bash
cargo build --release
```
Build without SDR support: `cargo build --release --no-default-features`
### 3. Configure
Run the interactive setup wizard to generate config files for your station:
```bash
./target/release/trx-configurator
```
The wizard walks you through rig selection, serial port detection, audio
settings, and frontend options, then writes `trx-server.toml` and
`trx-client.toml`.
Alternatively, generate example configs and edit them by hand:
```bash
./target/release/trx-server --print-config > trx-server.toml
./target/release/trx-client --print-config > trx-client.toml
```
### 4. Run
```bash
./target/release/trx-server --config trx-server.toml
./target/release/trx-client --config trx-client.toml
```
Open the configured HTTP frontend address in a browser (default `http://localhost:8080`).
## How It Works

```
Each `trx-server` owns one or more rigs and runs DSP, decoding, and audio capture locally.
A `trx-client` connects to any number of servers over TCP and exposes them through
a unified set of frontends.
