/bandplan.json needed the control role. Route access is decided by suffix for static assets — .js, .css, .png and so on — and ".json" is not among them, so the band plan matched nothing and fell through to the catch-all. It is compiled into the binary and identical for every user, so it is public now, like the rest of them. Two things followed from that. Read-only sessions never saw a band plan at all. And since the page asks for it during startup, the request can land before the session is established: that 401 was swallowed by an empty catch and never retried, which is why the allocations sometimes only appeared after a manual reload. So the client no longer hides the failure, retries once the auth gate clears — which is exactly when a startup 401 becomes fixable — and schedules a draw when the data lands, since the strip is painted from the spectrum draw and a rig sitting between frames would stay blank. The fixture can now refuse the first request the way the server did, and the spectrum layout test holds the client to recovering from it. Signed-off-by: Stan Grams <sjg@haxx.space>
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.
