LimeRFE USB support
The LimeRFE or Lime RF Front End is a power amplifier and LNA board designed to augment the capabilities of the LimeSDR in order to build an operational radio solution. The usage is not limited to LimeSDR any Rx or Tx device can be connected to it. The LimeRFE can be controlled directly via its USB port independently of a LimeSDR device. This interface allows exactly that from the SDRangel GUI. Note that this interface is available only in Linux. This implements issue #463
To open the LimeRFE USB dialog open the Preferences sub-menu from the top bar and click on the LimeRFE item. This item is available only when the code is compiled with LimeSuite v20.01.0 or with the binary packages.
More information on LimeRFE is available from Crowd Supply
Other changes and fixes
- BFM demod: fixed crash when adding the demod while the device is running. This fixes issue #469
- Audio devices manager: fixed crash when changing audio device and there is no other channel plugin with the default device selected. In fact this lets the default device run once started until program is quit. This apparently fixes this issue (Qt audio related).
