Build 2603080003 (March 8, 2026)

New: Level 2 Sync-Triggered Async Decoder (FT2)

Two-phase architecture that eliminates DT grid search:

Phase 1 — Costas Scan (fast):

  • Spectral peak detection + coarse Costas sync scan over full DT range
  • Low trigger threshold (0.50) catches weak signals for Phase 2 confirmation
  • Cost: only correlation dot products — no LDPC on noise

Phase 2 — Targeted Decode (only on sync hits):

  • Fine sync refinement: ±5 samples, ±4 Hz around known position
  • DT is KNOWN from Phase 1 — not searched
  • LDPC decode only for confirmed Costas sync

UI Indicators

  • Checkbox renamed "Async L2" with updated tooltip
  • Green "L2" label visible when sync-triggered decoder is active
  • Decoded messages show "T" annotation to distinguish from standard decoder

Key improvements

  • Timer interval: 1500ms → 750ms (lower latency)
  • LDPC never runs on noise
  • Less CPU on empty bands
  • Full backward compatibility with all FT2 stations
