One of my preferred package mangers for just browsing the list to find things is Synaptic. Here it isn't obvious under which heading one would find applications suitable for use with amateur radio. For instance here is a screenshot from the Linux Mint's default package manager which is somewhat typical:
#FLDIGI LINUX MINT SOFTWARE#
These are both very valid questions, and the answer is that the default software store somewhat fails amateurs in this instance. One of the questions I've been asked since the presentation is, "How do I find amateur radio applications?"/"I could only find one or two programs ". The slides from that presentation are available here I'm personally am writing this using Linux Mint as my distribution and inspiration, although most things will transfer directly to Ubuntu and it's many derivatives. Most of the instructions here should work for those using a Raspberry Pi, although some packages may require additional repositories in this instance. In this short article, I aim to follow up on that talk and address some of the feedback I've received from the members by presenting some of the applications mentioned and how they can be installed. A few weeks ago I gave a talk at the Geelong Radio and Electronics society () about the history of the Linux operating system and some the applications relate to amateur radio.
