despite the oblast update, this version is not recommended for the russian dx contest. there are too many changes in it. see the user group for instructions on how to update the oblasts manually. if you must, upgrade to this version, but be prepared to downgrade to the prior version. the corrected oblasts will remain corrected in that case for any database that you ran this version with.
russiandx contest, corrections to oblast.sec files (will be updated automatically once the new log for the contest is open), (ra3tt)(coded by na3m)
fix so2r echoing of sent cw in entry window after sending cw from the keyboard. (coded by n2ic)
uksmg contest: added support for generic log file, corrections to cabrillo format by sponsor request. (g8fxm) (coded by na3m)
moved muting of mic (optional) to occur after wav file starts. was delaying start too much. (coded by n1mm)
moved unmuting of mic (optional) to occur after ptt drops. was delaying return to receive too much (coded by n1mm)
orion: ignore reading of mic levels if they are zero. mic level is only used to restore prior mic level after it was muted (zero). (coded by n1mm)
orion/flex/k3: removed extra query of mic level for option mic muting function. latest orion firmware does not appear to need it. other radios copied that code. (coded by n1mm)
available: when viewing only radio mode spots, ssb spots were being matched incorrectly, causing incorrect counts (coded by n1mm)
ctl-shift-fn was shifting buttons in entry window to the opposite state (run/s&p) (coded by n1mm)
ssb: do not include @ as part of a filename when recording on-the-fly messages (coded by n1mm)
ssb: on-the-fly messages were being recording to the wrong files if comments included when messages defined (coded by n1mm)
k3 radio: add a digital modes esc key work around for the k3 firmware issue. added digital modes delay for the radio when esc is pressed in an attempt to solve the stuck tx when using radio command ptt. the command is sent to the k3 radio but it is ignored at times in all modes. (coded by k3ct)
transverter operation icom (all radios), jupiter, argonaut, omnivii, ft-857, ft-897: when clicking in the bandmap and using the transverter feature, the bandmap re-draws using the if frequency and then the rf frequency. (gw8izr)(coded by k3ct)
icom radio control: added support for the /### feature, major changes to the icom set frequency routine. (coded by k3ct)
icom radio control: eliminate bandmap redraw flicker and vfo errors with the ic-7800. (k8ut)(coded by k3ct)
radio control: if the program exits with dual rx always on, configure the radio with dual rx on during program start. (k8ut)(coded by k3ct)
ic-7600,ic-7700,ic-7800 split: poll the radio for split using new radio command. ic-7600 requires firmware 1.11 or newer, ic-7700 requires firmware 1.20 or newer, ic-7800 requires firmware 2.30 or newer. all have been release about a year ago. (coded by k3ct)
icom radio control bug: effected the icom radios ic-756pro and newer. fixed a bug in the code that changed the radio command pacing to improve performance when multiple commands are sent to the radio. improved the response when tuning with the up/dn arrow key and prevent radio commands from accumulating when keyboard repeat gets ahead of the radio hardware. (coded by k3ct)
ft-840/890/900 bug: when using any of these radios in so2r configuration, vfob is selected unexpectedly. (lu7hz)(coded by k3ct)
ic-775 radio control: re-write of the ic-775 radio control. the radio firmware limits correct implementation of so2v. tnx we3c for loan of radio. (coded by k3ct)
so2v: open the second entry window when so2v is selected. (coded by k3ct)
entry window: display or clear the split indicator in the entry window if the setting is the same for greater than two display cycles. (coded by k3ct)
note: there have been a lot of icom related radio control changes made in this version to address a wide range of improvements and reported issues. even though several people have been testing this code for over a month, some issues may have... |
