Brick-SDR 1.3.6

Start pictures for holidays

  • On a holiday of the world, of Ukraine or of Germany the splash screen shows a drawn scene (Halloween, Summerween, Christmas, New Year, Valentine's Day, Women's Day / May Day, World Amateur Radio Day, Easter (Western and Orthodox), Ukrainian and German national days, St. Nicholas Day, the Sundays of Advent). Switch off: an empty file no_holiday_splash.txt in %APPDATA%\OpenHPSDR\Brick-SDR-x64. To look at a scene on another day: environment variable BRICKSDR_HOLIDAY=xmas (halloween, summerween, xmas, newyear, hearts, flowers, radio, eggs, flagua, flagde, nicholas, advent).

FT8 / FT4

  • Stations that are not answered (Setup - General - DIGI MODES - FT8/FT4): choose countries (or call patterns like UA*, 3Y0K). Their stations are dimmed in the lists and over the waterfall, can't be clicked and are never answered by the auto-sequence; a compound call with one blocked and one other country (UR/DL1ABC) is only marked in amber. Option to also skip stations whose country is unknown. Update prefix table button (Big CTY from country-files.com); a table (cty.csv) comes with the program.
  • Close-up waterfall over the receiver filter band, with the call signs above the signals; left click sets Rx, right click sets Tx, click on a call selects the station.
  • PSK Reporter spotting (off by default), ADIF log in digi_modes\ft_log.adi.

CW

  • Three decoders, switched on the fly in the CW window: Basic, DeepCW (neural network) and Goertzel (a port of ggmorse).

Fixes

  • DirectX error on minimize (DivideByZeroException) with "Maintain aspect ratio" on.
  • FreeDV: the strip under the panadapter now follows FreeDV also when it is switched from the settings window.
  • "Ignore spectral area image" is kept between runs; the Auto AGC knob turns green; the TX leveler is switched on in SSB; PA settings of Brick boards are no longer skipped.

Not tested on the air: RTTY and CW transmit, FreeDV on real traffic, the FreeDV Reporter connection.
