 DIGITAL INTERFACE/DIGITAL VOICE
Digital Modes Interface
Digirig is an open-source integrated digital modes interface for
amateur radio. Yes, another one, but bear with me for a moment.

Hi, I’m Denis Grisak; amateur radio call sign K0TX.

Shortly after starting my ham journey in July 2020 I was logging my first FT8 QSOs while
dealing with the rats nest of cables, breakout boards, dongles and ferrite beads between my
radio and computer. That was especially messy while trying to operate mobile with rig cords
sticking out of both sides of the laptop and wires tangled all over the place.

Here comes the informercials’ favorite cliché “there’s gotta be a better way!”. My market
research yielded the list of overpriced bulky boxes with limited functionality. The leading product
only supported a VOX based PTT and dated itself by its Netscape Communicator’s worthy web

Automatic Motorized Antenna Controller

TuneMatic is a self-contained antenna controller which
automatically adjusts the resonant frequency of a
screwdriver/motorized antenna. TuneMatic operates
anywhere between 1-60 MHz, and supports a wide variety
of screwdriver-type tunable antennas. TuneMatic utilizes
frequency measurement, SWR detection, and antenna
position to perform the proper tuning, and stores the
tuning data in a series of internal reserved memory banks,
based on frequency and bandwidth.

The TuneMatic is independent of rig make and model

and will typically support any HF rig with a PTT control
line. TuneMatic is supplied with a backit wired remote
button panel, which contains all the functions necessary to
operate TuneMatic from the driver’s seat.
