[TangerineSDR] ka9q-web success

[Franco VENTURI]

John, I am glad to hear you have ka9q-web running there and thanks for the kind words.

Regarding the address of the multicast control stream from ka9q-radio, there's already the '-m' command line argument to choose a different address than 'web.local'. For instance in your case:

    ka9q-web -m hf.local

I also just added a note to the README so other people won't have the same problem.

Thanks for the enhancement suggestions; since I don't know if John Melton G0ORX is subscribed to this mailing list, I created a new issue in the ka9q-web repository (https://github.com/fventuri/ka9q-web/issues/1) with your ideas; feel free to add more comments and suggestions there.

Franco
