[TangerineSDR] ka9q-web success

[John Ackermann N8UR]

Thanks, Franco!  The -m option sounds like it's just the trick.

I wonder if it's time to agree on some recommendations for command 
stream names so that it's easier for new client applications to be added 
to an existing radiod installation.  Maybe just use hardware name 
followed by a hyphen and identifier if there are multiple instances on 
the network like -- "rx888.local", "rx888-1.local", "rx888-dipole.local"?

I'm going to work today on making a systemd module to launch ka9q-web. 
When I have something that works, I'll send it on to you.
