Weather and Other Bands

Applies to the published v0.3.0-beta.1 release. Device screenshots below came from a PNG-capable build based on later main source; see Screenshot Catalog.

First use

Start with a working FM setup, then choose Weather and a local NOAA channel with a suitable VHF antenna. For Airband, Marine, and Satellite, read the route limitations below before expecting voice or decoding.

NOAA Weather

Open WEATHER, select a local NOAA weather channel and adjust volume. Reception uses narrow FM. Shared Radio, Scope and Capture views provide tuning, signal display and post-demodulated audio capture. Use a suitable VHF antenna; current-release RF acceptance remains unverified.

Other Home entries

Entry Current boundary
Airband Generic Browse/NFM near 121.5 MHz; not a complete AM aviation-voice receiver
Marine Generic NFM routing; no dedicated marine dashboard or broad current RF acceptance
Satellite General routing near 137.5 MHz; no dedicated satellite decoder

Dashboard labels do not imply complete dedicated decoders. Use FM Radio to establish that the receiver and speaker work before diagnosing an experimental band.

Screens on the Tab5

These are actual 1280 × 720 Tab5 captures from 29 September 2026, using PNG-capable source 897c60a. They show the interface, not proof of reception. Live and demo refer to capture mode; the source is newer than the published release binary. See Screenshot Catalog for file hashes and provenance.

Development and verification

Published beta.1 release identifies the package. The feature-status record separates implemented routes from unverified RF behavior; it may describe later source state. The published release identifies the installed package. A merged PR or source test alone does not establish live reception on every setup. Screenshots from the later capture build are identified in Screenshot Catalog.
