Brick-SDR v1.4_hl2 - Pre-release

This is a pre-release with Hermes Lite 2 support. The Hermes Lite 2 code has NOT been tested on real HL2 hardware. It builds, starts and the HL2 model with its controls (HL2 I/O board, drive in dB, temperature and current in the status bar) can be selected, but nobody has run it against a radio yet. Brick and ANAN boards are not affected by the HL2 code paths, but treat this build as a test version.

Please report every bug you find as a GitHub issue: https://github.com/linoobs/Brick-SDR-Software/issues/new . Attach the data that helps to find the cause: the radio and firmware version, ErrorLog.txt from %APPDATA%\OpenHPSDR\Brick-SDR-x64 (it exists only after an error), screenshots of the problem and of the related Setup pages, and a short description of what you did. Reports with data and screenshots are fixed much faster.

IMPORTANT: the installer has changed

  • The program is now installed with a Windows Installer package (.msi). Earlier versions came as an .exe installer.
  • If you installed Brick-SDR with an older .exe installer (1.3.x or older), uninstall it yourself first (Windows Settings > Apps > Brick-SDR > Uninstall). The new package does not remove it. Your settings are kept: they are in %APPDATA%\OpenHPSDR\Brick-SDR-x64.
  • Later .msi versions update the previous .msi version by themselves.
  • The package installs to C:\Program Files\Brick-SDR, adds Start menu and desktop shortcuts and a Windows Firewall exception for the program. Administrator rights are needed.

v1.4_hl2 - Change Log

  • [add] Hermes Lite 2 support taken from the MI0BOT Thetis version (it has the same base, Thetis 2.10.3.15): HERMES LITE radio model, HL2 specific network protocol 1 code, HL2 I/O board, extended attenuator range, HL2 setup pages. Thanks to MI0BOT and the Thetis authors.
  • [add] Windows Installer (.msi) package, built with WiX.
  • [change] The .exe installer got proper version information and no longer deletes itself through cmd /c ping, which anti-virus heuristics dislike.
  • Known: the Brick-style cards of the main window are not adapted to the HL2 controls yet (the automatic attenuator A-ATT and the extended LNA range are reached through the normal Setup pages).
  • Everything of v1.3.8 is included (log bar with call sign look-up, online logbooks, automatic RX level for the digital modes, Zero beat button in the CW panel and others, see the v1.3.8 release).

VirusTotal

1 of 61 engines flags the .msi with a generic heuristic verdict (VBA32 "Dropper.MSIL.gen"), the others find nothing. Link: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/2a653453ea4ab94d6b70e6a2ce0002927734c6cebc7d8de8153e022deba07a09
