wfweb wiki

wfweb turns an Icom transceiver (and a few Kenwood and Yaesu models) into a station you operate from a browser: waterfall, audio both ways, SSB, CW with a decoder and keyer, RTTY with a decoder and AFSK keyboard, SSTV pictures, FT8/FT4, JS8, FreeDV and RADE digital voice, and AX.25 packet with APRS. The README is the overview and the pitch; this wiki is the manual.

The wiki is editable by anyone with a GitHub account. The pages that live or die by your contributions are Rig Compatibility and Troubleshooting and FAQ: if you got a rig working, or hit something and solved it, add a line.
