The bookmark fix addressed one instance of a defect the TypeScript migration left across the feature entries. app.js stopped being a classic script, so its top-level declarations are no longer shared globals, but the converted entries kept reading them as window properties that nothing publishes. Restore the broken behavior: - ais, aprs, hf-aprs read serverLat, serverLon and haversineKm as undefined, so every positioned packet rendered an empty distance. - ais, aprs, hf-aprs, cw, sat, vdes, wefax, wspr called an undefined postPath, so clear-history and decoder toggles threw. - scheduler read authRole as undefined, so the lazy-load path never self-initialized and the Settings tab opened an inert scheduler. - background-decode read authEnabled as undefined, so control gating fell back to role-only. - vchan read fifteen application values and services as undefined: mode and bandwidth sync, the out-of-band hint, RX audio restart, and the frequency field all silently no-opped on a virtual channel. - vchan wrapped window.refreshFreqDisplay, capturing an undefined original exactly as it did for setRigFrequency, so leaving a channel never restored the application's own frequency display. - _audioChannelOverride was a const that nothing could assign, so RX audio always subscribed to the primary channel. - ftx-family read fmtTime, a helper legacy ft8.js owned locally, so decode bar timestamps rendered empty. Declare the contract once in plugins/host.ts and import it from the feature entries, rather than restoring globals that docs/frontend-architecture.md excludes. trx.state gains jogUnit, rxActive and audioChannelOverride, and makes lastModeName writable; trx.core gains the tuning, RDS, WFM, jog and RX audio services the entries need. vchan interception moves to an interceptFreqDisplay service method that refreshFreqDisplay calls, matching the frequency, mode and bandwidth interception it already registers. Reading registry-built elements through a strict lookup is the same defect as in bookmarks: renderTimelineNeedle guards its result, but schedulerEl throws, so the now-initializing scheduler crashed on the timeline needle group that its own SVG creates. Feature tests move onto a shared host fixture, and entries that now import a common module are bundled through bundleEntry like the other shared-module entries. Covers scheduler self-initialization and the distance path that the bare window reads broke.

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
Debian / Ubuntu
sudo apt install build-essential pkg-config cmake libopus-dev libasound2-dev
# Optional — SDR support
sudo apt install libsoapysdr-dev
Fedora
sudo dnf install gcc pkg-config cmake opus-devel alsa-lib-devel
# Optional — SDR support
sudo dnf install SoapySDR-devel
Arch Linux
sudo pacman -S base-devel pkgconf cmake opus alsa-lib
# Optional — SDR support
sudo pacman -S soapysdr
macOS (Homebrew)
brew install cmake opus
# Optional — SDR support
brew install soapysdr
See Build Requirements in the wiki for details on each library.
Note:
cmakeis required even when a system Opus library is installed. Theaudiopus_syscrate probes for Opus viapkg-config; if it is not found (orpkg-configis unavailable), it falls back to compiling a vendored copy of Opus with CMake. A missingcmaketherefore fails the build withis cmake not installed?rather than a missing-Opus error.
2. Build
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:
./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:
./target/release/trx-server --print-config > trx-server.toml
./target/release/trx-client --print-config > trx-client.toml
4. Run
./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).

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.
