Had a chance today to take the x6100 out for a test on the new firmware ¨C one thing I noticed ¨C and I could be wrong, is that the ¡°charging options¡±
are nowhere to be found? I looked on the settings menu/page. I ask because I was using an external battery pack, and it sure seemed to be charging the radio. The last time I used it on the older version of R1CBU software, I¡¯d had it set for ¡°stealth¡± ¨C that
is, with an external power source connected to the radio, no charging takes place until the radio itself is powered off¡ anyone else seeing this?
?
Thanks!

* 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.
Checked import to hamlog.online, eqsl.cc,
.
* Noise reduction and Noise blanket can be assigned to f1/f2 headset buttons
* Battery icon.
The charge level is calculated by voltage
* Support reading transceiver ID via CAT.
Should help solve the problem with some versions of Hamlib
* Display peaks on S-meter
* 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.
UPDATE: I fixed wrong behavior when band changing works only in down direction. Looks like I can't attach new file here -
so I uploaded it to the
