With the purchase of a widescreen monitor for the computer I decided to go back to my horizontal rack, it fits the desk better on the horizontal rack. I also added an Icom ID-5100 dual-bander so decided to use the IC-7300 for HF rather than the IC-7100 for both V/U and HF.

It started with the original OP25 Mobile Control Head project which was an attempt to build a front-end for the OP25 software. That attempt required you to run OP25 on a raspberry pi or in a chroot on your phone, there was no native way to do it. I'd been looking for a library that I could embed into a flutter...
