Pulls latest SOTA spots. Displays them in a compact interface. If you have an instance of flrig or rigctld running, when you click on a spot your radio will automatically tune to the spotted frequency.
Added CAT control. Added commandline options.
If you're running from source you can install Python3, then the required moduals PyQt5 and requests, with pip.
python3 -m pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Or if you're the Ubuntu/Debian type you can:
sudo apt install python3-pyqt5 python3-requests
I've included a .spec file in case you wished to create your own binary from the source. To use it, first install pyinstaller.
python3 -m pip3 install pyinstaller
Then build the binary.
pyinstaller -F sotacracker.spec
Look in the newly created dist directory to find your binary.
If no command line options are given, the program will check if either flrig or rigctld are running on the computer. It will setup CAT control to which ever it finds first.
You can force it to use either with commandline options.
-r will force rigctld with default host:port of localhost:4532.
-f will force flrig with default host:port of localhost:12345.
-s SERVER:PORT will specify a non-standard host and port.
