DB0BUL - my SVXLink system. Since there is not really a good link in the region of Burglengenfeld, and since I always wanted to do experiments with EchoLink, I started off and developed my own little system.

It is not the best QTH I could imagine, but that was not so important for me. I just wanted to conduct my experiments and be able to contact my local buddies.

1 Hardware

The development goal was to create a machine that consumes as little power as possible. I started off with some very small platforms like the

  • MIPS (Linksys WRT54G*, ASUS WL500gP, Fonera)
  • Intel ATOM (which is the current platform)
  • TexasInstruments ARM (which may be the future platform)

I don't want to accept that such an installation needs to consume the awful amount of 200 or more watts just to forward an audio stream with very limited capacity to the sound subsystem. Using regular PC hardware with Windows on it is really like shooting sparrows with cannonballs.

So here are the links to the development projects:

2 Software

As always I am using Linux because Windows just sucks for this purpose. Well, Windows sucks almost anywhere, so there's not really a need to explain why I am using Linux :-)

The Echolink subsystem I am using is SVXLink.

There is no Ubuntu deb package yet, but the compilation instruction works quite well. Yet, the init file that comes with the code tarball is crap. I had to write my own.
