RigOne v1.1.10

RigOne v1.1.10

Highlights

• Added native IC-7300 Twin PBT controls in the new RX Controls section.
• Added a visual passband overlap display for PBT 1 and PBT 2, with click-and-drag adjustment and a centre/reset button.
• Added a receive passband overlay on the panadapter/waterfall so operators can see the active receive bandwidth relative to the tuned frequency.
• Read the real IC-7300 FIL 1, FIL 2, and FIL 3 bandwidth values from the radio for the current mode, then use those values in the Twin PBT display instead of fixed assumptions.
• Added a compact current-filter bandwidth readout in RX Controls.
• Moved FIL, NB, and NR into the RX Controls section so receiver controls are grouped more logically.
• Added right-click level adjustment flyouts for NB and NR where supported.
• Improved connection-lost presentation so RigOne keeps the last VFO/scope context visible, resets meters safely, and clearly marks the scope as no longer live.
• Improved panadapter/waterfall feedback when tuning from VFO digit clicks, including a temporary teal marker before the scope recentres.
• Continued polishing the Windows layout, footer sizing, rotary dial spacing, and RX Controls alignment.

Notes

• Native IC-7300 support remains the primary tested path for scope/waterfall and Twin PBT.
• Hamlib support remains available for broader radio control, but Hamlib does not provide RigOne's native IC-7300 live scope frame data.

Acknowledgements

• Thanks to Peter Reichert, DL3KVT, for suggesting receiver-control improvements that helped lead to the power/standby and RX Controls work.
• Thanks to David Donnelly for suggesting a TUNE control and reporting the Active VFO mouse-button tooltip issue fixed in the previous release cycle.

RigOne v1.1.9

RigOne v1.1.9

Highlights

• Added experimental native IC-7300 Power / Standby control.
• Added native IC-7300 VOX control.
• Moved Mute, PTT, and VOX into the main operating panel with matching embedded LED-style indicators.
• Improved IC-7300 wake-up handling so RigOne retries connection after sending the power-on command.
• Corrected the Active VFO tooltip so it accurately says left click tunes up and right click tunes down.
• Added panadapter and waterfall hover frequency badges, plus a short teal click marker when tuning from the scope display.
• Improved Hamlib capability handling so IC-7300 and Yaesu FT-DX10 support is based on verified Hamlib model capabilities rather than the current UI state.
• Enabled Hamlib NB, NR, and VOX where the selected Hamlib backend genuinely exposes them, including IC-7300 model 3073 and FT-DX10 model 1042.
• Added FT-DX10 Hamlib serial handling for the verified 8N2 hardware-handshake configuration, with clearer baud-rate guarding.
• Kept Hamlib panadapter/waterfall disabled where Hamlib does not expose live scope data.

Acknowledgements

• Thanks to Peter Reichert, DL3KVT, for suggesting IC-7300 power/standby control and helping prompt the feature investigation.
• Thanks to David Donnelly for reporting the Active VFO tooltip wording error.

RigOne v1.1.8

RigOne v1.1.8

RigOne v1.1.8 is a major operating-panel and visual polish release, focused on making the main radio surface more beautiful, more flexible, and more useful in everyday IC-7300 operation.

Highlights

• Added a new analog signal meter with an elliptical S-scale, smooth colour gradient, peak hold, and subtle GW3JVB watermark.
• Added smoother signal needle movement and fading peak markers for a less jumpy meter display.
• Added Full, Focused, Compact, and Custom panel layouts.
• Added a compact panel mode with a narrow control surface, settings cog, footer, and tagline.
• Added an AF gain slider to the tuning control area.
• Added an IC-7300 filter button for cycling FIL 1, FIL 2, and FIL 3.
• Added native CI-V address configuration, useful where the radio does not use the default IC-7300 address.
• Added quick mode and band selectors from the VFO status buttons.
• Added a setting to enable or disable tooltips.
• Improved mode/band/filter handling so app-driven band and mode changes preserve the selected radio filter.
• Improved Hamlib mode handling so existing passband width is preserved when changing modes.
• Refined the VFO display, panel spacing, button styling, NB/FIL/NR indicators, and footer behaviour.

Notes

• The waterfall/panadapter currently depends on the native IC-7300 connection and may require a suitable CI-V USB baud rate, normally 115200, for reliable scope data.
• Hamlib support remains useful for core radio control, but not every native IC-7300 function has a generic Hamlib equivalent.
• Direct IC-7300 support remains the main tested path for this release.

RigOne v1.1.6

RigOne v1.1.6

RigOne v1.1.6 is a major visual and operating polish release, focused on the main radio panel, transmit metering, and everyday IC-7300 controls.

Highlights

• Added a new analog-style main meter, with click-to-toggle switching between analog and horizontal bar display.
• Added transmit RF output display, changing the signal meter to RF output while transmitting.
• Improved SWR display handling, including last-SWR memory, high-SWR colouring, and clearer behaviour when the radio reports bottom-scale SWR.
• Added NB and NR toggle buttons with live state indication.
• Added an AF gain slider under the tuning controls.
• Added window position memory so RigOne reopens where the user last placed it.
• Improved Hamlib capability handling so available backend functions are mapped more cleanly into RigOne controls.
• Refined layout, spacing, meter scaling, tooltips, and visual consistency across the main panel.

Notes

Direct IC-7300 support remains the most complete control path, including panadapter and waterfall display.

Hamlib support is included for other radios where the selected backend exposes the relevant functions. Feedback from operators using other Hamlib-supported radios is very welcome.

RigOne v1.1.5

RigOne v1.1.5 usability and panadapter polish release.

Changes:

• Added five subtle frequency markers beneath the live IC-7300 waterfall, showing left edge, left-mid, centre, right-mid, and right edge frequencies.
• Added small vertical tick marks aligned with the waterfall frequency markers for clearer visual reference.
• Fixed marker and scope-range flicker between live scope frames.
• Added concise tooltips across the main controls, including the VFO display, rotary dial, tuning step, frequency rounding, S-meter, panadapter controls, display modes, connection controls, and settings fields.
• Added a tooltip for the signal meter explaining signal strength and peak-hold indication.
• Brightened the waterfall frequency tick markers while keeping them thin and unobtrusive.
• Kept panadapter polling at the smoother 100 ms interval after testing faster polling.
• Retained RigOne's fixed dark theme so Windows Light mode does not alter button hover or selection contrast.

Notes:

• Native IC-7300 direct control remains the fullest RigOne experience, including live scope/panadapter/waterfall support.
• Hamlib support remains available for other radios, but available features depend on what each Hamlib backend exposes.
• Panadapter/waterfall support may not be available through Hamlib, even for radios with their own waterfall display.
• Feedback from operators using other Hamlib-supported radios is very welcome.

• Added clickable Discord and email links for users interested in helping test direct support for other radios.
• Improved the Support dialog layout with clearer rows for app help, update checks, support links, and donation options.
• Forced RigOne to use its intended dark theme regardless of the Windows default app mode, fixing poor hover/selection contrast in Light mode.
• Fixed Hamlib radio chooser selection contrast when Windows default app mode is set to Light.
• Improved the update notification dialog layout so action buttons are no longer clipped in narrower windows.
• Improved the update notification release-notes panel so it keeps RigOne dark styling in Windows Light mode.
• Improved panadapter controls with compact left/right aligned button groups.
• Added Clean, Balanced, and Sensitive waterfall display modes.
• Optimised waterfall rendering and set the panadapter polling interval to 100 ms for smoother live display.
• Kept Hamlib support available while making clear that panadapter/waterfall availability depends on each Hamlib backend.

Notes:

• Native IC-7300 direct control remains the fullest RigOne experience.
• Hamlib support has been tested with the IC-7300; feedback from operators using other Hamlib-supported radios is very welcome.
