FobosAPP 4.4.0 publishes the current DMR and GNSS work as a practical test release.

Highlights:

  • DMR backend selector for FobosAPP+mbelib, FobosAPP+OpenDMR/OP25-compatible path, DSD-neo, and the experimental GopherTrunk bridge.
  • DMR channel-rate controls and metadata stability improvements.
  • Live USB/serial NMEA GNSS support via Qt SerialPort, tested with a u-blox/NEO-M8N-style receiver on COM4.
  • GPS/QTH map updates from valid NMEA GGA/RMC fixes.
  • QTH privacy controls: clear current real location, stop NMEA reception on request, hide the green current-location marker, and remove test/search markers with right-click.
  • Windows runtime now includes Qt5SerialPort.dll.

Known issue:

  • Some Fobos/Agile receivers or host/firmware combinations may still show intermittent center-frequency placement, shifted spectrum, or I/Q mirroring after tuning. The attempted startup frequency jog was removed because it could make the shifted state persistent. This remains under investigation and is not marked as fully fixed in 4.4.0.

Package notes:

  • The Windows x64 zip is the main ready-to-run package.
  • The Raspberry/source zip is included for Linux/Raspberry builds.
  • Android was not rebuilt for this release because these changes are desktop/runtime focused.
