CI put the tab strip 9px into the controls at 1440px with no scaling at all, on a bar that had every degradation step available to it and used none of them. It used none because nothing thought anything was wrong: the fit test was an arithmetic estimate — identity + nav.scrollWidth + actions.scrollWidth + a 48px allowance for the gaps — and on a platform whose fonts run wider than the one it was written on, that allowance no longer covered what it stands for. An estimate that says "fits" stops the ladder before its first rung. It reads the geometry now: the controls have to stay inside the bar, and no tab may reach them. That is the same measurement the test makes, so the two cannot disagree about any platform's metrics. The tabs are the subject rather than the nav's box because the nav shrinks below its content — the box gets smaller while the tabs keep their width and slide underneath the controls. A second fault turned up while probing this: the strip only reflowed on window resize. The rig name arriving from the server, the style picker filling in, a font swapping in wider metrics — each changes what fits without touching the window, and the bar sat there as it was through all of them. A ResizeObserver on the bar and the controls covers those, and document.fonts.ready covers the swap. The guard sweeps text scales and adds a station name too long for the bar, but it should be said plainly: it passes against the old code too. Nothing here reproduces on this machine — a 4px viewport sweep from 1080 to 1500, three wide font stacks and scales from 1.0 to 3.0 all failed to make the old estimate lie. What is fixed is the mechanism that could. 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.
