I refreshed (mostly shortened) the trx-control homepage: trx-control.msys.ch Now that it has hot-plug support, you might want to give it a try. #trtx-control #linux #CAT #transceivers #amateurradio #ham #Lua

I am looking forward to attend FOSDEM'26 in my role as IARU-R1 open source projects coordinator as well as an active open source developer. When I am not visiting OSS projects, I am likely to be found near the amateur radio info stand. See you in Brussels!
