This is a BETA release. I suggest to use another SD card to have a working 0.28.0 in case of some problems.
Also - I'm not sure about correct migration of parameters. In case of some problems you can delete params.db from the DATA partition of SD card.

General:

  • Most of the bottom buttons with 2 state related controls (on/off) changes state of control with a single press (no need to press and turn VOL/MFK)
  • Memory pages moved from GEN button pages to V/M button to make shorter cycle of pages "attached" to GEN button
  • RX filters (low, high, bandwidth) moved from GEN pages to DFL
  • Added semi-auto notch filter. It tries to find strong constant tone within IQ samples and just move DNF frequency to detected. If nothing detected - it moves DNF center to 3000 Hz. It also might tries to reject some strong tones from the operator voice especially, when remote station frequency response has a peak. Hope, it might be useful in some situations.
  • Speaker/phones control moved to the settings app
  • Reduced spectral leakage on spectrum and waterfall (see pics below). Now strong signals doesn't spread across the spectrum/waterfall.
  • Added interpolation to waterfall - more smooth picture on high zooming.
  • Add external USB keyboard hot plug support, fix upper case issue (for example - when typing WiFi password with capital a case)
  • Set WF/spectrum range to 48db, when using auto min/max.
  • Wifi/SSH keys saved on the SD card (no need to retype after update). This feature was not tested enough. New firmware should be installed for saving - so it will not restore settings for the first time.
  • DATA (params, recordings, etc) restored after flashing new version. This feature also was not tested enough. This feature should restore your DATA right after first boot (if you will use same SD card as for previous version). Anyway - it's better to create a backup of your DATA partition before updating, at least for the first few times.

FT8:

  • Added RX frequency cursor (green) - indicates frequency of remote station.
  • Added TX cursor acceleration, Tx cursor is red now.
  • Added Hold TX freq option - when disabled, you TX frequency will follow calling station frequency.
  • TX might be started in a short interval (1.5 sec) after new time slot begin - slightly more time to answer fresh decoded CQ message.
  • Better support of the non-standard call signs (with /QRP, for example)
  • Added 60M band to qso logger

Misc:

  • Improve CW messages generating timings. It was an issue with inconsistent duration of dits, dahs and intervals while playing or sending
  • Added labels with current values for sliders in the settings (pics)
  • Fix: no tx for playback audio after ATU. Also might fix issue with no voice prompts after ATU. Thanks for @infrat
  • CAT changes (still in progress). Added reporting S level, ALC, SWR, etc.
  • Updated SWR scan averaging

New:

  • Webserver to configure radio and download files from it. Available in http://x6100/ or http://<radio_ip_address>/
  • Band editor for FT8/FT4 #39
  • Band up / down switch - no 60m #45

Fixed:

  • Hiding messages (e.g. information about saving QSO was not show due to next message about TX). #30
  • "9" handle key can't save/restore memory #35
  • ATU long press doesn't activate indicator. #49
  • Extend Transverter Frequency Range to include 4m band #51 (thanks for @infrat for merge request)
  • Return Time Adjust button for FT8 #28
  • Screen locks up if "nothing" is programmed to change on MFK knob #40
  • Update freq boundaries on waterfall zoom
  • Move images to shm for performance (might be helpful for slow SD cards)
  • Saving same qso many times on repeating R report in FT8
  • Better visibility of the waterfall marker (with zooming)

New:

  • New color schema. It's active by default. Old might be selected with settings.
    2024-11-02 13-24-01

  • Support of DXpedition messages (like A2AA RR73; B1BB <RP79AA> +05) parsing within FT8 app.

Fixed:

  • CW low/high filter changing (#26)
  • 40 symbols limit of wifi password (#25)
  • Some changes for improve UI responsiveness

Fixed:

  • Vol valcoder behavior on settings, callsign, etc #11
  • No power on FT8 #12

New:

  • Wifi support. Right now WiFi might be used to sync time with NTP or to connect device with ssh. Only open and WPA2 networks are supported. Only DHCP. #3
  • FTx incremental decoding - messages appears on the screen before ending time slot.
  • Support of FTx CQ modifiers (SOTA, POTA, AS, etc). Also CQ modifier might be a 3 digits (according https://wsjt.sourceforge.io/FT4_FT8_QEX.pdf). #8
  • Time synchronization notification. After synchronization WiFi might be turned off to save battery and reduce noise.
  • Auto populate QTH from GPS. GPS app should be open for it. #9

Changed:

  • ATT/PRE shares one indicator. Both can't be turned on the same time. I did it to release a slot for wifi indicator.
  • Time sync button on FT8 app was removed. Now time might be synchronized with WiFi.

Fixed:

  • Incorrect handling of FTx CQ modifiers in received messages. #7

Note:
For WiFi I changed version of the buildroot. FT8 is now a separated library. I tested application some time, but these bigchanges might affect some functionality.

New:

  • Add current parameters values to some of bottom buttons (789b36d).
  • Auto adjust TX level for FT8. It works on every TX and remember a single correction value (c93de29, e2d625e).
  • Add udev listener for attaching GPS device. Less noise in the log (6dcf494).
  • Better suspend display drawing, when it off (2915201).
  • Slightly restyle RX (S-meter) and TX (PWR and SWR) indicators. S-meter step is 3 dB, PWR - 0.25 w, SWR - 0.1 (71f8418).
  • Decreased log verbosity (be1e740).

Fixed:

  • Rejecting QTH like JO89ts (fa56a0d)
  • Fix applying filters while changing mode trough CAT (with wsjt-x, for example) (b63b537).
  • Problem with answering some messages on FT8 (add044b, 7404749)
  • Freezing FT8 application after some time. Now FT8 table contains not more than 512 items (1d9f483).
  • Segfault on zoom change (6a40ba3)
  • Some minor changes

v0.24.0

New:

  • Waterfall zoom. Might be turned off in settings.
  • Highlight worked call signs in FT8 / FT4 CQ messages. Worked calls signs marked with dark green background, worked on the same band with the same modulation - also strikethrough text.
  • Importing log from ADI to database (for highlighting in FT8/FT4)
  • Indicate satellites in view/in use, gps status (working, restarting, etc.)
  • Max waterfall and spectrum zoom - 8x
  • Image doesn't contain DATA partition. It will be created during first launch and will use all available free space on the SD card.

Fixed:

  • Shift between spectrum and waterfall in CW
  • USB-D after exiting from FT8 / FT4
  • Incorrect S meter values with PRE or ATT.
  • Inverted CW tune. Now left is lower frequencies, right is higher
  • Change band on switching FT4 / FT8
  • Width of the marker for FT4
  • Wrong format of FT4 QSO in generated ADI

Known bugs:

  • Sometimes, waterfall data is shown on wrong band (27 MHz on 14 MHz) after changing band.
