xfhell is a GTK+ application for the "fuzzy" digital communication
|
|
mode known as Hellschreiber. xfhell has several different built-in
|
|
fonts in Adobe BDF format, including a font set for Greek, and
|
|
a special "short" font set that is 12 pixels high instead of the
|
|
standard 14 of the original Hell fonts. Using this font set would make
|
|
xfhell incompatible with other Hellschreiber programs, but the short
|
|
fonts speed up operation and avoid wasted bandwidth, inherent in the
|
|
original Hellschreiber design (an unavoidable problem of the original
|
|
mechanical implementation of the mode). xfhell also has selectable
|
|
lower baud rate operation (down to 7.6 Bd), which again make it
|
|
incompatible with other Hellschreiber programs, but the lower speeds
|
|
(especially combined with the 12-pixel fonts) would make this mode
|
|
even more efficient and effective.
|
|
|
|
xfhell has built-in CAT control for the FT847 and FT857 transceivers
|
|
and a QSO logging facility similar to xpsk31. It also has a
|
|
FFT-derived waterfall display of the incoming signal, with the ability
|
|
to detect maximum signal level and tune the transceiver, via CAT, to
|
|
the appropriate carrier frequency by clicking near the signal trace.
|
|
|
|
By default, xfhell wants to install a directory structure in the $HOME
|
|
of the installing user. The SlackBuild overrides this, and copies that
|
|
structure into /usr/share/xfhell-$VERSION/.
