Open source software for amateur radio
Description
I'm looking to continue writing software for ham radio, while also paying bills.
My primary interest, as far as liberapay donations will support, is in-radio satellite prediction, doppler correction, and other related features running on the OpenRTX project. I firmly believe OpenRTX will become the "Linux of radios", and I think this feature is cool enough to act as a first killer-app for attracting users who might not otherwise care about "open source".
I also work on other projects: I've been working on the M17 project for quite some time now, and am one of the core team. I've written dmr.tools, a convenient online codeplug editor, firmware upgrade center, and much more, currently focused on TYT MD-380 radios and their related clones. I'd like to expand this dramatically and eventually replace Chirp with something a little easier to work on.
None of these projects make me any money, though I am exploring ways of mixing profit and FOSS without misaligning incentives. Any funding here means that much less time working a day job or burning savings.
