?

New:

* CW tuner - shows how accurately the radio is tuned to the correspondent's frequency. I had to slightly change the signal preprocessing for the CW decoder - now it works a little differently.

* Adjusting the bandwidth for filters with one knob. I did it for CW, but did not disable it for other modes. For CW - the center of the filter always equals to the key tone.

* Low and High filters in CW mode change synchronously (central frequency remain unchanged).

* Simple level indicator in the recorder.Perhaps, will restyle/rework it in the future.

* Time sync in FT8 application. When pressed, rounds the current time on the transceiver to the nearest FT8/FT4 slot. Usage - listen to the broadcast, find a section of silence, press the button - the system time will be updated. I guess it's simpler, than trying to adjust using settings.

* ADIF log for FT8. Call signs, reports, QTH are saved. Imported to hamlog.online, eqsl.cc, qrz.com

* Noise reduction and Noise blanket can be assigned to f1/f2 headset buttons

* Battery icon. The charge level is calculated by voltage

* Charging icon

* Support reading transceiver ID via CAT. Should help solve the problem with some versions of Hamlib

* Display peaks on S-meter

?

Changed:

* FT8 app now uses USB-D. The sound from the microphone is not mixed into the transmission, and the transmission does not break down after using the ATU.

* The output power in the FT8 application match to the installed one. Looks like for internal signal sources the changing output power only works as a limiter (ALC threshold adjustment).

* Auto level for waterfall/spectrum is disabled during transmission. Fixed values ??are used during transmission. After the transmission is completed, the auto level is used again.

* The buttons on the left (GEN, APP, etc.) ¡°scroll through¡± the corresponding button blocks of buttons below.

* Recording and playback levels in settings app are now in decibel s (default 0, range from -10 to +10).

* Switching to digital modes and back - by long pressing the SSB button. Short press for the LSB/USB or LSB-D/USB-D switch.

* In digital mode, the LSB-D/USB-D inscription changes color.

* Power meter, SWR and ALC smoothing is disabled in digital modes.

Fixed:
* Band "jump" if the transceiver is in the lower range and is tuned to the upper limit.
* Zooming spectrum doesn't affect levels.

* When changing band/A/B, the waterfall does not forget the data.

* Deleting a single entry/message now clears the table.

* Fixed some bugs with the FT8 application

* Freezes when using headset buttons (possibly my mistake, but now fixed)

* Minor stability and performance improvements

Also, I raised the recording level in the audio mixer that comes with SDR on linux and is used for recording, CW and FT8 decoding, etc. Initially the sound is very quiet - maybe this is a problem with my transceiver.

?

Update via patch - connect the card to the computer, and drop the tgz file into the DATA disk (for those with Linux - into the root of the DATA partition).

The transceiver will update the files on first boot.
