Pre-release
Pre-release
Test build for Linux (x86_64), Windows (x86_64), Mac (Apple silicon and Intel) and Android (openslot-v0.2.3-android.apk, Android 10 or later). iPhone and iPad: the public beta on TestFlight, https://testflight.apple.com/join/2PtZDBsA (0.2.3, build 4).
New in this build:
- Map:
- The desktop apps have a Map tab between Openslot and Modem. The map fills the window while the station keeps working, and its pop-ups come up over it. Tools > Map... still opens it in a window.
- Borders and state lines stay readable on the night side. Before, the night shading darkened them too.
- Hover over a station to see who it is (callsign tag, name and QTH when known). It also shows when it was last heard or worked, its SNR, band and frequency, and how many times it was heard. Distance and beam heading are shown as before.
- QSY:
- FREQUENCY SNIFFER and SLOT SNIFFER now stay on after a click until you click again. Before, they only listened while held. Holding works as before.
- After a retune the station knows its new frequency at once. Before, it took up to 3 s. In that time the sniffer button stayed greyed out and a QSY could pick the wrong calling frequency.
- "Still waiting for your partner" no longer comes up mid-QSO on a slow link once the partner answers on the new frequency. A speed change or SNR report from the modem now counts as hearing them.
- While the frequency sniffer is held, the auto-stay countdown pauses. The TX light now lights only when the radio is actually keyed.
- Rig controls: the Power slider shows watts on Yaesu and Kenwood CAT and on FLRig. Icom and rigctld still show a percentage. The remote page matches.
- Remote: the station acts on a remote's input at once, so dragging the map from a remote no longer lags.
- Alert tags window: its columns line up with their headings.
