Still in the testing phase, but Rick gave the approval to share.

Just a reminder  yes my project is still in beta phase and updates are coming along weekly sometimes quicker. CW is not currently in the TX build that is coming in the next phase as well as RX2 and Split mode- Pure signal is planned as the last phase. 
Use  with caution into an Amplifier please, I do plan on adding a RF max output setting so if you happen to go over that it will stop TX  quickly as well as SWR threshold protection as well.

Please use the GitHub channel for posting questions or issues as I don't wish to track 15 places to see a : You never answered my ?

Thanks and hope you enjoy the application

A native SDR transceiver for the Hermes Lite 2 / 2+
Built in C++23 and Qt 6 — performance, polish, and a station you arrange your way.
Lyra is a ground-up native desktop transceiver for the Hermes Lite 2 and 2+ (HPSDR Protocol 1). It pairs a
professional-grade receive and transmit DSP chain with a fluid, GPU-accelerated interface you can rearrange to fit how you
operate. The receive DSP is built on the respected WDSP engine; the transmit baseline is ported from the openHPSDR
Thetis ChannelMaster architecture — and on top of that Lyra adds a complete native audio-processing rack you would
normally only get from outboard studio gear.



Attached is an overview document

Hello Rick,

Is there any hope to have a version compatible with the Anan 10E revised Hermes board or even the Brick2 ?

Very nice piece of software. Looks very promising.

As outlined in the PDF document, yes I will be supporting or hopefully supporting the entire anan-family protocol 1 protocol 2 and the brick2 S
DR after I have everything else working that may be 3 months. It could be 6 months but it is in the road map

Hello, how do I turn on the microphone? The microphone doesn't work when transmitting. When I press the TUN button, the signal gets through. What do I need to enable it to work through the PC sound card?

Please use the discord channel.. going fowrd if you would.

You'll need to select it from the audio panels 

In audio set your input for your mic. In the tx panel you'll need to select pc sound card and vac1 most likely 
I haven't built Line In  just yet 

So audio tab  click drop down for input device and select what your using for mic. Then on ta panel tab try using the mic source set to pc soundcard vac1 that will route the input for MIC to the source for mic in audio

Once again as mentioned 
I'm not routing through 15 sources for so called issues 

Use the GitHub or discord channels as mentioned.

It's not ready for Linux or Mac OS so yes files needed to compile are missing. I'm not going to start looking at those until I complete the full windows build.

Hello

Okay that does present a problem..since it's Blocked for you.

I will try to check here perhaps 1 or 2 times a week no guarantees as I look more at the GitHub issue section and Discord (which is preferred method)

CTUN ? Describe if possible there is a Tune button it's in the tx panel next to mox is this different?

I'm going to add options for Tune later this week so if you can describe what you mean I will try to add it.

Did push a couple updates last few days as well adding split and repeater options tying them into memories so it recalls all the repeater settings for FM 10/6 meters (yes I now Hermes doesn't do 6m) but others I add later can.

Split for other modes like ssb is now working as well.

The help guide in Lyra is built and gets updated as things are added or if they change.
 

Next big section will be RX2

In meantime trying to get a few smaller ones knocked out first as they will need to be in place for RX2 then Pure Signal

I looked at the log you sent earlier 

It's a firewall issue you have.

I'm updating another version will be out later today, should help with your issues.

Your issue with firewall is an inbound discovery issue that's being blocked.
From what I can tell from the log

Rick v.0.4.5 started normally and is working well. About the jumps of band and frequencies I discovered with 0.4.4 that a beacon was followed for an unknown reason and I set beacon OFF and it worked nicely.

Hello all,

I just istalled and have latest Lyta running well on my HL2 in WIN 10 land. What a brilliant, challenging re-write in C++, wow! My main rig is the FLEX 5000 and KE9SN PowerSDR. My only problem is figuring out how to bind the panels to the main window after challenging resizing to build a useful radio panel. Maybe I need to read a manual <G> Long ago before moving to a management position to make the big bucks, I wrote a lot of C, Smalltalk and Java code so my deep appreciation for this complex work is well founded.

Cheers all.

Thanks for the nice words.

What problem are you having with layout?

The panels should resize and snap next each other.

Some of them won't shirk down too far or your loose view of some buttons/options 

They can be nested and when doing that they become tabs they can be clicked to open and close.

The DSP panels and cw panels do not dock those are floating.

Thanks

Grade Wizard Rick,

I resize and place panels where I want them - attached jpg
My problem is they are not bound to the main window, they are all a floating group.
I am not getting all words like this:
    Move a panel: drag it by its title bar. Drop it against an edge to re-dock, or out on its own to float.
I see no docking behaviour of any kind, hope I'm just being dull here.
What is an edge?  
Everything is floating and clicking Maximize is useless.
Just trying to build a handy radio view like PowerSDR and Thetis.

Thanks again,

Hi Randy
I would like to 2nd the difficulty in resizing each panel.
When I move the mouse cursor the resize arrow quickly appears and disappears.
I have tried the Ctrl button as well as the Shift button, while moving the mouse cursor to the 
edge of each window. Seems like the Shift+cursor works somewhat better, but not all
the time.

thanks
jim

Jim,

I had to set my mouse to enhanced precision but still difficult to resize.
Ideally, we need a way to resize and position all panels to one's taste and have all the panels bound to the Lyra window,.
I achieve the layout I wanted but panels are all floating in the Windows desktop.
The top DSP tabs all work perfectly to pop up the feature rich TX/RX EQ views.
I am sure I just don't have the knowledge yet to do this.

Sorry for the blank email to those having problems with the docking panels. I'll try to work on that this afternoon and see if I can come up with another way to make a dock easier. Thanks for the feedback, it does help

My problem is that I can not build what I want in the docked mode. The system resizes and moves etc.
One needs to control size and position with no "help".
I'm hoping I am just not getting something. I can build and use the attached most excellent layout in the undocked mode only.
I'll revist next week when I go on vacation and have time to be useful.

Dock Panels are horizontal 
They will fill a row unless you dock another alongside of it,  they will still then fill the complete horizontal row

That becomes ones a horizontal column /row
It's width rides all those panels in the column or row. Unless you float them.

The panadapter and waterfall are one panel they are not separate there is a marker in the left corner of the waterfall which will collapse only the waterfall view.

There is a divider between the panadapter and waterfall to resize the area between the two.

The DSP panels are floating they do not dock but are sizeable and can be moved where you wish.

I'll add edge markers that highlight and an easier way to grab the panel (upper left corner) then cyan box or marker where the panel would be placed if dragging it.thst should make it a bit earlier to us.

I'll also add a 4 layout saved option so you can set and recall up to 4 layouts that are can be named.persistant on restarting.

Should have later this evening

I know what it might be

The new panel locks and updates I think have locked the panadapter possibly.

I'll look this evening and see if can be a quick fix
