What's new

Tabbed Configuration dialog

The Settings → Configuration dialog is reorganized into five tabs — Identity, Audio, Voice, PTT, and Behavior — so related settings are grouped and the form is no longer a single long scroll.

FCC Look Up in Add Station dialog

The Add Station dialog (opened when you click a pending-station pill) now has a Look Up button next to the Callsign field. It queries the FCC license database on a background thread and pre-fills any empty Name or Location fields from the result. Works with:

  • Callsign only — fills both Name and Location from the license record
  • Callsign + name — runs the name-match check and shows a verified or mismatch status
  • Callsign + location — fills Name from FCC; shows the FCC city alongside your entry

A color-coded status line shows the outcome (green = verified, amber = found/no match, red = not found, gray = offline). The button disables when the app is offline.

Updated user manual

docs/USER_MANUAL.pdf reflects both changes: section 6 (Configuration dialog) is reorganized by tab, and section 9 (Add Station dialog) documents the Look Up button.
