Main ScreenWelcome to the home of SvxLink. The SvxLink project is developing a flexible, general purpose voice services system for ham radio use. The svxlink server consists of a core that handles the connection to the tranceiver. The core can be configured to act as a repeater controller or to operate on a simplex channel. The voice services are loaded into the core as plugins, or modules as they are called in SvxLink. Some examples of existing voice services are: Help - a help system, Parrot - a module that plays back everything you say, EchoLink - connect to other EchoLink stations and TclVoiceMail - a simple voice mail system. The project also includes an EchoLink client GUI application (Qtel). Have a look at the feature list to get a quick overview of what the SvxLink project is all about. EchoLink is an amateur radio invention (well actually it is just a modified verison of IP telephony) to link radio transceivers together over the Internet. You must have an amateur radio license to use it. The original EchoLink software can be found at http://www.echolink.org/. However, this software only support the Windows operating system and it is closed source. SvxLink is released under the GPL license. Qtel is only an EchoLink client program. It does not have the sysop mode. That is, it cannot be connected to a transceiver and act as a link. For the latter, use the svxlink server. SvxLink is developed under Fedora but it's possible to get it working on other distributions as well. However, since RPM:s are provided for Fedora it's easier to install there. |
