MKOB4 is a GUI application that is modelled after the MorseKOB 2.5 interface (though not identical, and with some different features).
MRT Morse Receive & Transmit, or 'Mr T' (Mr Telegraph) as it is called, is a command line application that can run on machines with limited horsepower and/or in the background without a screen. It also supports a selector switch (switch board) so different configurations can be easily selected (in real-time). This is great for displays.
The PyKOB package also includes a number of other utilities related to Morse or working with the MKOB/MRT applications.
All of the applications, utilities, and modules are written in Python. Python 3.11 is required on the machine and is available on all current platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux).Â
These applications and utilities support the same Key, Key+Sounder and Loop/KOB Interfaces that MorseKOB 2.5 supports. See Interface Techniques and Turnkey Interface for information. They also support interfacing using the GPIO on a Raspberry Pi. See the PyKOB documentation in GitHub for information about that. They can also be configured to automatically detect a SilkyDESIGN interface, eliminating the need to select specific COM/tty ports.
The GitHub repository contains the applications, as well as a README and a documentation folder, with User Manuals for MKOB and MRT. Issues can be submitted and questions asked there. Questions can also be asked in the MorseKOB Groups.IO topics.
The application, utilities, and documentation are being actively developed/enhanced.
A Windows installer for the MKOB Suite (MKOB, MRT, and selected utilities, plus the documentation) is available here: https://www.aesilky.com/morse
Get the full Python project (currently the approach needed for Mac and Linux) from GitHub: https://github.com/MorseKOB/PyKOB
In GitHub the package is available as either a Release-ZIP file, or by cloning the repository. Cloning the repository has the advantage of being able to easily get updates when they become available - simply do a `git pull`, and you have the latest.
