- Logic updated, should work with any AD sample rate.
- Gain menu corrected, extraneous entries removed.
- Works with 822x which must be in single channel mode.
Analyser
- Plays chained HDSDR recording files correctly (gain was too low), chaining not working.
-
Display
- I have made the analog S-meter scaling, so if set to medium or large and there isn’t room for it to display correctly it is automatically reduced in size.
- Found and fixed a reproducible bug related to the analog S-meter where the program could display Please Wait when closing..
- Better zooming with narrow bandwidths.
- Various startup fixed for floating windows.
- Less flicker when scrolling the waterfall.
Extras
Extra options which are not enabled are now not initialised (save startup processing):
- Go2MONITOR
- LimeRFE
- Digital decoder
- Geostationary beacon
When closing SDR Console, disabled Extras windows are now closed before the window state is saved.
go2MONITOR
- Better diagnostics
- More robust change of settings
Hermes-Lite 2
- General Radio Pane UI update.
- Transmit support improved.
- Sidetone added for CW when key / keyer connected direct to the HL2.
Identities
- Increased number of identities from 4 to 8. The selection window shows either 4 or 8 depending on the definitions.
Lime
- Restored HF support
- Improved frequency integrity with Lime MINI
Noise reduction
- A bug has been fixed in the rrnoise project, rrnoise is the engine used in NR3.
Recording
Audio
- Audio recording in WAV format now starts a new file after 1 GB has been written.
Data
Added three preset definitions for the Data recorder.
From the ribbon bar select Options (see screenshot). Press Preset 1 … 3 to display the Recording Definition window.
Playback of chained HDSDR (WINRAD format) and SDRuno recordings now works correctly. Allowed up to 5 seconds between the internal times in the metadata chunk.
Video
- Improved reliability.
- Fixed problem with loss of audio.
Satellites
- TLE now works with Unclassified, Classified and Secret (was previously only Unclassified).
SDRplay
- If an API call fails it is retried 4 more times with a 25 millisecond interval between retries.
- At least 10 milliseconds between consecutive API calls.
- AGC now restored correctly from previous session.
Transmit
- Obscure timing problem with Meter display resolved.
3.0.22
General
Narrow FM:- De-emphasis time constant was wrong, now set to 530µs (300 Hz).
- Gain adjusted, limiter added to avoid overload with over-modulated transmissions.
- Squelch updated to have a short tail (2ms) on strong signals and a long tail (150ms) on weak signals, this is to reduce the squelch ‘flutter’ when a signal is weak.
Performance:- Improved, most noticeable with low-power (< i5) systems.
- Fixed fatal errors when zooming with fast screen speeds.
- Added better sanity when stopping / starting radios – for example when changing the bandwidth.
Noise reduction:- NR4 reset now resets the DSP as well as the sliders.
Serial port (CAT)- Added SD which returns the signal level in dB above S0
- Fixed SM, now returns correct values
ELAD
Added support for the DUO(r).Ettus
Updated support to use the 3.15 LTS library from Ettus.SE MORE:LINK
