Just sharing this gem from NA7Q. It has Digirig RTS support, although I wasn’t able to decode using a Kenwood TH-D72A and a Kenwood TH-F6A as the TX radio.

did this work at all for you? I cant get it to stop crashing when I try to send any packet

If I recall correctly, it did crash when turning off the High-Quality Demodulator. The only problem I have is not being able to decode packets (using a Kenwood TH-D72A and TH-D7) while using Digirig Mode on a regular Digirig. It works great with VOX on both the regular Digirig and Lite version. The Digipeater and IGate features seems to work fine too. Ireached out to NA7Q with my issues but unfortunately he does have a Digirig unit.

bummer…the high quality demodulator is much worse for me than leaving it unchecked.
Its great this program is getting worked on after all these years. I read a log from the original guy and it sounds like NA7Q has been submitting things for a long time that have not been pulled in to the main branch.
