What's changed:
- Kiwi SDR online listening support
- Online sdr directory list added
- DSP performance optimizations - roughly a 30% reduction in CPU load was achieved inside the DSP core.
- Updated dependencies to their latest versions, insofar feasible. DeepFilterNet is stuck on some old dependencies for example.
- Sped up panadapter frame and waterfall row building
- Improved panel layouts on small displays, (fixes #231)
- EU VHF contest exchange bugfix (fixes #223)
- Fit the window to the screen it opens on (fixes #234)
- import channel lists from CHIRP CSV (implements #234)
- Switch an Icom off and on again over its control link (implements #239)
- Give an Icom's antenna selector a control, and remember the antenna per band, fixes #238, fixes #235
- Keep an Icom's own repeater shift off the dial for the whole over, fixes #233
- Keep the panadapter on the I/Q for windows the full-band lane cannot resolve
- Bring the receiver to a panadapter zoomed back in off its passband
- Let the panadapter zoom out past the I/Q into the front end's full-band lane
- Fix main menu layout and move QO-100 button into sat window
- docs: say in the manual that a skimmer with none of its own sub-bands in the window stands down and costs nothing
- Scale a seeded spectrum to its new bin width, so the rows a rebuilt lane draws before its first transform sit at the level it is about to settle on instead of pinned to the ceiling
- Stand the PSK and RTTY skimmers down where the window holds none of their calling sub-bands, as the CW one now does (#230)
- Take the RTL-SDR ring a chunk at a time straight into the engine's block, and run the I/Q correction between estimator boundaries rather than per sample (#230)
- Stand the CW skimmer down where the band plan has no CW allocation, instead of running the neural decoder over signals whose spots the engine then discards (#230)
- Stop a pan or a zoom blanking the waterfall: re-point the zoom lane instead of rebuilding it, seed a rebuilt analyser from the picture it replaces, and never publish a frame from an analyser holding nothing
- Scale the 3D spectrum to fill its strip instead of leaving a dead top quarter
- Label panadapter frames with the centre the samples came from
- Transmit RTTY test audio on the tone pair the receiver listens to
The ability to quickly add more radio tabs from public SDRs is really a super convenient feature. It has never been easier to check your own transmissions from another location. Or just use sdroxide as an online SDR frontend without having any radio equipment of your own.
