Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install xdemorse on Fedora 34.

What is xdemorse

xdemorse is a GTK+ graphical version of demorse, using the same decoding engine as demorse. It has an FFT-derived “waterfall” display of the incoming audio signal’s spectrum, as well as a ‘scope-like display of the audio detector’s output and status of the mark/space discriminator (“slicer”). xdemorse also has CAT for the FT-847 and this can be used to net the receiver’s frequency to the incoming signal, by clicking near its trace in the waterfall display.
