FM-Transfer
A graphical front-end for gg-transfer and quiet-transfer
fm-transfer is a graphical front-end written in Python that allows you to send and receive files through a transceiver.
It is designed to directly control the push-to-talk button of devices equipped with a Kenwood connector used by
many Baofeng, Quansheng and many other transceivers.
The PTT conrol happens via a serial interface, by raising/lowering the DSR or the
RTS serial signals. A simple circuit can read the status of one of this signals and trigger the PTT.
This hardware is NOT mandatory, so you can use this tool without any transceiver: it can be used to
send/receive data through audio (es. a cable connecting default sound port output to default sound input).
Transmission and reception are performed using two other python packages:
gg-transfer (https://github.com/matteotenca/gg-transfer) which uses C/C++ library
ggwave (using pip a fork of mine is required/installed, ggwave-wheels)
quiet-transfer (https://github.com/matteotenca/quiet-transfer),
which uses C/C++ library quiet-lib
The former implements FSK modulation, the latter implements a lot of modulation algorithms, including GMSK and QAM.
Installation
The simplest way to install fm-transfer and all the needed tools is via pip.
Windows
The Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributales must be installed too.
All platforms
Some pre-compiled wheels are provided for ggwave-wheels and quiet-transfer.
pip install fm-transfer
This will install all the needed dependecies: while fm-transfer is pure-Pyton, dependencies are not, and may require
a C/C++ compiler.
