Your email is timely ¨C I was preparing to send one out myself.

?

The VFO ¡°auto-acceleration¡± is very nice!

?

I just tried using the FT4 mode (RX and TX) at lunchtime and ran into issues ¨C I¡¯m curious, has anyone else gotten it to work regarding transmitting? It decodes FT4 fine.

?

When I use the ¡°auto CQ¡± function, it appears to transmit fine ¨C but, upon ending transmission, the ¡°app¡± crashes, and the radio returns to normal ¡°CW¡± mode.

?

If I try to answer someone¡¯s CQ, the app doesn¡¯t crash ¨C but it also doesn¡¯t appear to be outputting any power by looking at the PWR/ALC levels ¨C yes, I¡¯ve got the power level set to 5 watts.

?

I verified on PSKReporter that I wasn¡¯t generating any FT4 signals ¨C at least none that were picked up.

?

Thanks & 73 ¨C

Thanks Oleg for all the great work. This firmware has been my favorite features of the radio.

I've been using this new version since you announced it, and the acceleration on the VFO is nice.
I'm also enjoying the auto-leveling of the waterfall and spectrum.

Now for my bugs and observations so far:

* With the intro of the auto-level, I removed min-level, max-level from the MFK,
? but it seems min-level is still bound to the MFK knob (and active) on power up.
? Once I click the MFK, it exits min level, and then it's gone as one would expect.
* clicking the Band buttons, sometimes it gets stuck below the 40m band:
? going up cycles back down to a lower band. I needed to spin the dial to get back above
? the 40m band. That's not reproducing now, though. :shrug:
* You had previously suggested bands would be editable, but I guess it didn't make the cut this time.
? I'd find that feature really helpful, since your bands don't completely match up
? with my region, and it would help me immensely stay where I'm supposed to stay
? for my license.

I know you don't intend to do any more work on the project.
I've looked at your source repos a bit, and it seems x6100_gui needs another (buildroot?) project,
but I'm not sure which project it is.

REQUEST: As a final bit of work on the project, would you be willing to describe how you build the image?

* source repos & branches to checkout
* how they're connected to each other
* maybe much of this is described in the other projects needed to get x6100_gui going?

Thanks again for everything!
