AETHERSDR(1)

📦 version 26.10.1, in ubuntu stonking

💖 NAME 💖

AetherSDR — your FlexRadio transceiver client, bestie. That's it, that's the whole vibe. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

aethersdr
aethersdr --config command [key] [value]

so basically, launch it and it just... goes 🌈 or hit it with --config if you wanna poke the settings instead.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so like, picture this: AetherSDR brings FlexRadio operation to Linux — no Wine, no virtual machines, none of that 😭. It was literally built from the ground up with Qt6 and C++20, and it speaks the SmartSDR protocol natively. The goal? Replicate the full SmartSDR experience, periodt. 👑

💅 CONFIG COMMANDS 💅

ngl this part is kinda iconic. All your settings live in a SQLite</> store tucked under your user config directory:

~/.config/AetherSDR/AetherSDR.db

and the --config mode lets you inspect or repair them — without starting the GUI — and then it dips out and exits. 🙈

  • list [prefix] — prints every setting as key<TAB>value, and if you pass a prefix you only get the keys that start with it. filtered, slayed, sorted-ish 🍓
  • get key — prints one value. heads up tho: it exits with status 2 if that key does not exist 💀
  • set key value — creates or changes a setting, and it verifies it actually persisted. no vibes-based saving here, it double-checks fr fr ✨
  • unset key — deletes a setting. bye bestie 👋
  • export — a sanitized dump of the whole store, with secrets redacted 🎀. important tho: this is diagnostic output, not a restorable backup. It's giving forensic, not giving undo 😭
  • path — prints the settings database path. cute, simple, useful 🫶
💀 reminder: export is for looking at, not for restoring from. don't come crying to me, I warned you, bestie.
