-Quisk Version 4.2.55  October 2026
-==================================
-Karl Heinz, K5KHK, provided a patche to fix the AC2YD remote control head. He provided another patch
-to fix Hamlib control when using WSJT-X improved. He added a mic jitter buffer to the remote control
-head so it works over WiFi. Thanks Karl!
-
 Quisk Version 4.2.54  August 2026
 =================================
 Quisk can now accept audio samples for Tx from TCI at rates 48000, 24000, 12000 and 8000. Please test.

-# Quisk Software Defined Radio
-
-Quisk is a software defined radio transceiver that runs on a PC or on a single board computer such as a Raspberry Pi.
-It is written in Python and C.
-It works with various kinds of radio hardware such as SoftRock, Hermes Lite 2,
-the SDR-IQ by RfSpace, and with network UDP samples.
-Quisk is easily extensible by writing your own hardware file in Python.
-
-I wrote Quisk back in 2008, and I have been maintaining it ever since.
-For questions and support, please visit the group https://groups.io/g/n2adr-sdr.
