Roadmap

These plugins are in my immediate plans

• DONE! Conventional Transmitter, a plugin to control the transmitter in a conventional radio
• IF Adapter, support of the analog I/Q output from a conventional radio fed to a soundcard
• Decoded Text Display, a panel that displays color-highlighted text produced by the future CW/RTTY/Digi decoder plugins

These plugins will come later

• Adapters for other SDR radios;
• Spot Provider that downloads spots from the Telnet DX clusters, RBN and other sources;
• Spot Manager that collects spots from all spot providers, archives them and serves spot data to other plugins;
• Cluster Monitor, a visual plugin that shows the spots provided by Spot manager;
• CW Decoder a single-channel CW decoder based on the decoding algorithms used in CW Skimmer;
• CW Decoder based on the Deep Learning algorithm;
• Logger Interface, a non-visual plugin that talks to the logger database and allows other plugins to add QSO, check the Needed status of the callsigns, etc.;
• QSO Entry Box, a visual plugin to enter QSO in the logger database;
• CW, RTTY, PSK, SSTV and FT8 skimmers for mass decoding and spotting of the signals in the corresponding modes;

Ideas considered

There are ideas of many other plugins that I would like to develop, such as a world atlas plugin, a combination of my DX Atlas and HamCap programs with modern graphics and more information displayed, and a plugin for the Vector Sensing antenna for polarization matching, direction finding and many other applications. Currently I do not have time for these projects but may consider them in the future.
