'usbmuxd' stands for "USB multiplexing daemon". This daemon is in
charge of multiplexing connections over USB to an iPhone or iPod
Touch. To users, it means you can sync your music, contacts, photos,
etc. over USB. To developers, it means you can connect to any
listening localhost socket on the device.
KRemoteControl (formerly known as KDELirc) is a KDE frontend for
your remote controls. It allows to configure actions for button
presses on remotes. All types of remotes supported by the Solid
module in the KDE platform are also supported by KRemoteControl
(e.g. with the Linux Infrared Remote Control system (LIRC) as
backend).
hf is a gtk+-based Linux ham radio fsk digimode program, which can do also
the realtime ARQ modes pactor 1, amtor, gtor without a ptc, only with a
soundcard and a PC and Linux (FreeBSD), all of which need not be the newest.
The core of hf, the heart of the program (hfkernel) is a real master-piece
of code, it has originally been made by Tom Sailer, many thanks Tom!
hf can also do MT63 and has a CW elbug function.
viewfax displays one or more fax files in an X11 window. The input
files may be either raw, single-page faxes received by a fax modem
with a program such as mgetty, or tiff files such as those used by
hylafax. The first (or only) page of "PC-Research"-style (DigiFAX)
files produced by the ghostscript dfaxhigh or dfaxlow drivers can also
be displayed.
Input files using any common fax encoding such as group 3 (1 and 2
dimensional) and group 4 can be displayed.
The fax images are rendered at full resolution and then successively
scaled down by a linear factor of 2 prior to display, until they fit
on the screen. The display can be controlled interactively using
mouse and keyboard commands.
WSJT ("Weak Signal Communication, by K1JT") offers specific digital protocols
optimized for meteor scatter, ionospheric scatter, and EME (moonbounce)
at VHF/UHF, as well as HF skywave propagation. The program can decode
fraction-of-a-second signals reflected from ionized meteor trails and
steady signals 10 dB below the audible threshold.
The Yagi-Uda project is a set of programmes for designing, and optimising
Yagi-Uda antennas, with 2 or more elements, such as shown below. Additionally,
a very simple program called dipole works with just a dipole, but its
functionality is limited.

WSPR (pronounced "whisper") stands for "Weak Signal Propagation Reporter."
This program is designed for sending and receiving low-power transmissions
to test propagation paths on the MF and HF bands. Users with internet access
can watch results in real time at WSPRnet.
Allows access to Telldus Tellstick USB dongles for communicating with
433MHz devices in your home.
Provides "telldusd", the daemon which keeps track of your tellstick
devices. Through a UNIX socket, the sensors and devices can be used/
controlled from the command line tool "tdtool", or via the libtelldus-core
C client library.
Xlog is an Amateur Radio station logger. Xlog is able to do
DXCC lookups and will display country information, CQ and ITU zone,
location in latitude and longitude and distance and heading in
kilometers or miles, both for short and long path. Locator distance
and heading calculation for VHF logging is also supported.
Xlog supports cabrillo, ADIF, trlog, and EDI and can import
twlog, editest and OH1AA logbook files.
It also has the ability to customise log fields which makes it ideal for
use in those countries that have odd logging rules such as the U.K. Also
included is the ability to log using the FCC emissions codes.
