Using the touch screen on the IC-7300 and other touch-screen rigs is a real chore for the visually impaired. You can even use a wireless numeric keypad and tune around the bands from across the room. For frequency, mode, and tuning, a numeric keypad works great and wfview was designed with this in mind. For example, to enter a frequency, hit the "/" key (also available on most numberic keypads), type in the frequency desired in MHz, and then hit enter. Most keystrokes, for common tasks, are single keys. Every operation has been made with a keystroke available. Wfview can be run entirely from a keyboard. For now, just follow the directions and it will install. In the future, we will figure out a way to provide a proper. We are working on a way to provide a compiled download of wfview for windows and macOS.įor installation directions, please see INSTALL.md in the repo.
When a Pi is set up to run wfview full screen on boot, it makes the Pi into a perfect "display adapter" for demonstrations using large TVs or projectors. wfview also runs great on the Raspberry Pi. Wfview had been tested on Linux, Windows, and macOS operating system using standard PC hardware. The last thing ham radio needs is more proprietary software! Download it today! The source code is available for tinkering or just viewing to see how it works. Wfview is open source and available without cost. wfview also enables operation of the rig from a standard PC keyboard. Functions include the waterfall spectrum visualizer, frequency, mode, band change, memory (on the computer), antenna tuner, and more. Wfview is a program that allows one fully use modern Icom radios (such as the IC-7300, IC-9700, and IC-7610) on a computer.
