Roadmap

Roadmap

Where Lyra is headed. This is a direction, not a dated schedule — items land when they're solid. Everything shipped today is on the Feature Status page.

Legend: ✅ done · 🚧 in progress · 🗺️ planned · 💡 exploring (early idea, not scheduled)

Major features

🗺️ RX2 — dual receiver

A second receiver: watch two frequencies at once, stereo-split audio (one receiver in each ear), a focus model for which VFO the controls follow, and SPLIT operation for working DX pile-ups. RIT/XIT extend per-receiver.

🗺️ PureSignal — adaptive predistortion

Real-time linearization of the transmit signal using the radio's feedback path, for a cleaner, stronger signal with less IMD. Requires the HL2 PureSignal hardware mod. (A 2-tone test generator ships alongside it as the tune-up companion.)

🗺️ HPSDR Protocol 2 + ANAN family

Add HPSDR Protocol 2 so the ANAN family (G2, G2-1K, 7000DLE, 8000, …) becomes first-class, alongside the existing HL2 Protocol-1 path. Other HPSDR Protocol-1 boards are planned too — those mostly need a tester with the hardware to bring live.

Platforms

🗺️ Linux, then macOS

Lyra is Windows-only today. Linux support is planned as a future version, with macOS to follow. The codebase is C++23 / Qt 6, so the ground is prepared — these are real roadmap items, not "maybe someday."

Smaller items on the list

• 🗺️ VAC2 — a second independent virtual-audio channel (e.g. a logger's audio separate from your digital-mode app)
• 🗺️ 2-tone test generator — the PureSignal / linearity tune-up tool
• 🗺️ Per-profile independent RX/TX filter lows
• 🗺️ Continued polish across the DSP, UI, and metering as testers report back

Exploring — further out 💡

Ideas we're interested in but haven't scheduled. They sit behind the major features above and may change shape or timing.

💡 Remote operation

Run a radio at one location from a Lyra somewhere else, over the internet — a purpose-built Lyra-to-Lyra link that carries the DSP, compressed audio, and spectrum, with the operating position's controls driving the remote radio. This is an early idea, not a dated feature: it sits behind RX2 and PureSignal, and would only ship with mandatory authentication, encryption, and fail-safe transmit — a dropped or degraded link must never leave the transmitter keyed.

Want to influence it?

Feature requests and bug reports genuinely steer the order of work — open an issue or join the community on Discord. Tester hardware for non-HL2 radios is especially welcome.
