With this program, you can see your waterfall display on a large screen, or launch from a VNC session and remotely control your radio. wfview does not use hamlib or any other common radio control libraries. That may chance, but at this time, it is not clear how to impliment a continuous stream of spectrum data through either hamlib or flrig. The code should be easily adaptable to the IC-7610 and any other SDR-based Icom radios. +[wfview](https://gitlab.com/eliggett/wfview) is an open-source front-end application for the Icom IC-7300 HF SDR Amateur Radio . wfview supports viewing the spectrum display waterfall and most normal radio controls. Using wfview, the radio can be operated using the mouse, or just the keyboard, or even a touch screen display. The gorgous waterfall spectrum can be displayed on a monitor of any size, and can even projected onto a wall for a presentation. Even a VNC session can make use of wfview for interesting remote rig posibilities. wfview runs on humble hardware, ranging from the $35 Raspberry Pi, to laptops, to desktops. wfview is designed to run on GNU Linux, but can probably be adapted to run on other operating systems. -**Please [see our wiki](https://gitlab.com/eliggett/wfview/-/wikis/home) for detailed information and basic operation manual.** +wfview is unique in the radio control ecosystem in that it is free and open-source software and can take advantage of modern radio features (such as the waterfall). wfview also does not "eat the serial port", and can allow a second program, such as fldigi, access to the radio via a pseudo-terminal device. + +For screenshots, documentation, User FAQ, Programmer FAQ, and more, please [see the project's wiki](https://gitlab.com/eliggett/wfview/-/wikis/home). wfview is copyright 2017-2020 Elliott H.
