Linux, K2 & transverters, SDR Play
As I have a K2 and DEM 432-28 transverter, it might not take much more to get on mode B. My preference is to use Linux OS, but how well does G Predict work with a K2 and transverter combination? Is anyone doing it? On the receive side, for duplex, a SDR Play 1A receiver is what I'd like to use. There again I'm unfamiliar with SDR receiver control, it wasn't apparent in the rig control library of Gpredict, but I'm getting the idea that rig control works with the SDR software I use on the SDR Play not directly with the hardware.
Anyone using this or a similar combination?

You might be able to find something on their forum: https://community.libre.space/c/gpredict
Combine your posting and a thought that I had about watching a program control a radio, and I think I will be trying this soon with my radio....
