  • Version 4.0b4 (Jun 06, 2022)

  • client mode now fully functional.
  • changes in Notch settings: Area to use changed to notch position, so SIDE become CENTER and LEFT/RIGHT are switched.
  • WebSDR server message (if exist) is no more displayed as a pop-up, but as a text at the end of the info area.
  • when notch position set to CENTER, EXP button is moved in the top left of the info box.
  • better support for FT817/FT818 EEPROM read/write based commands.
  • when you connect to an FT817/FT818 for the first time, all the factory calibration data is saved in a local text file (2 times, to be sure the values are correctly read).
  • audio device in/out selection pages for headset and radio audio.
  • FT817/FT818 transceivers are now fully supported with a new configuration file (new tags available). Limitation: PTT from the radio mic cannot be read because of some limitations in the protocol.
  • prevent sending write EEPROM commands for addresses below 0x055 or bigger then 0x007C.
  • debug mode automatically disabled when you restart the application.
  • raw meter value displayed in the lower left part of the meter when debug is activated. Can help to set meter calibration in the radio config.
  • mic level meter displayed in the top of the screen.
  • re-organized menu items.
  • audio over TCP (CAT port+1) or UDP (same as CAT port) options. Defaults to Audio over TCP for better audio quality, especially over bad connections.
  • when audio loopback is activated in client mode, mic is active even without pressing PTT, for test purpose.
  • parameter value - display full text in smartphone mode (for more clarity), display only after '-' in tablet mode, as parameter namne is displayed anyway, but only for the parameters with more than 2 values (ON/OFF).
