The TypeScript migration turned app.js from a classic script into an ES module, so its top-level declarations stopped being shared globals. bookmarks.ts was converted verbatim and kept reading them as window properties, which app.ts no longer publishes. Every bookmark interaction read undefined: the Add Bookmark and Select All buttons stayed hidden because the auth check saw no authEnabled or authRole, per-rig scopes were missing from the scope picker and the move target, decoder checkboxes were never built, and Tune threw on bridge.postPath before issuing a single request. Extend the typed window.trx host contract instead of restoring globals, as docs/frontend-architecture.md closes the standalone window property list. trx.state publishes authEnabled; trx.core publishes setRigFrequency, applyLocalTunedFrequency, armOptimisticFrequency, syncBandwidthInput, scheduleSpectrumDraw, and onDecoderRegistryReady. Replace the vchan setRigFrequency wrapper with an interceptFrequency service method, matching interceptMode and interceptBandwidth. The wrapper captured an undefined original and silently dropped every tune; routing interception through setRigFrequency also restores virtual channel redirection for the application's own tuning. Read registry-built elements through bmOptionalEl, since bmEl throws and the decoder checkboxes and decode toggle buttons are legitimately absent until the registry arrives.

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.
