Kondor Weak Signal Modes Decoder: FT8 / FT4 / WSPR / FST4 / FST4W / JS8 / Q65
This release applies the Kondor name throughout the plugin UI and installers. It preserves module identifiers, host settings, enabled state, saved layout and reception history when migrating previous names.
- Receive weak-signal modes with a day/night DX map, SNR colors, station/country statistics, filtered DX activity bearings, reception tables, bounded SQLite history and CSV logging.
- Keep the established SDR++, SDR++Brown and Windows SDR# integrations. FT8, FT4 and WSPR start on; other modes remain optional. GridTracker forwarding covers FT8/FT4.
- Follow the new clock-synchronization instructions for macOS and Windows, including drift, network access and DT troubleshooting.
- Try the companion Maverick Text Modes Decoder for CW, RTTY, JS8, Olivia and BPSK31/63; both READMEs link each other and invite feedback.
Downloads
- macOS: signed/notarized installer DMG or ZIP for Apple Silicon, macOS 15+. The installer includes separate SDR++ 1.2.0 and SDR++Brown 1.2.1 integrations; macOS 26 is the tested environment.
- Windows preview: SDR# x64 .NET 9 revision 1.0.0.1921. Use the preview ZIP and Install.cmd, or the documented manual file placement. Existing functional validation used the actual host and recordings in Windows 11 ARM64 / Parallels x64 emulation. This is not a Windows SDR++ build.
- Matching project source, Windows runtime sources and SHA-256 checksums are included. Runtime-source archives are for rebuilding/license compliance, not normal installation.
The new names preserve existing data folders. No normal reception history is cleared by the update. Distance and DX activity bearing are reception estimates with documented limits, not measured arrival direction or a propagation forecast.
