Virtual Serial Ports Emulator (VSPE) v0.941.5.179 32bit

FREE LICENSE FOR 32 BIT PLATFORM (X86) 🙂

VSPE is intended to help software engineers and developers to create/debug/test applications that use serial ports. It is able to create various virtual devices to transmit/receive data. Unlike regular serial ports, virtual devices have special capabilities: for example, the same device can be opened more than once by different applications, that can be useful in many cases. With VSPE you are able to share physical serial port data for several applications, expose serial port to local network (via TCP protocol), create virtual serial port device pairs and so on.

Raspberry Pi Packet TNC, APRS Digipeater, IGate August 2017

In the early days of Amateur Packet Radio, it was necessary to use a “Terminal Node Controller” (TNC)
with specialized hardware. Those days are gone. You can now get better results at lower cost by
connecting your radio to the “soundcard” interface of a computer and running free software.
The Raspberry Pi (RPi) is a good platform for running a software TNC, APRS digipeater, and IGate. Why
use a larger computer and waste hundreds of watts of power? All you need to add is a USB Audio
Adapter ($8 or less) and a simple PTT circuit to activate the transmitter.
