Mini-FT8 has reached a milestone where I can comfortably call it V2.0.
Big thanks to Zhenxing (N6HAN), who helped fix several bugs. Two of them had been bothering me for quite a while and were finally tracked down:
- when multiple RR73 messages were sent, duplicate ADIF entries could sometimes be created
- some ADIF fields could be missing
There are quite a few changes in this release, so please review the operation manual in the GitHub README before updating. Below are the major updates:
- Support for KH1
- Support for GPS (9600 or 115200 baud, auto-detected)
- Support for Bluetooth BLE; device name is Mini-FT8-
- Added IgnoreList (replaces Antenna, maximum 64 characters)
- Added arrow-based cursor editing (; / . = ±100, / / , = ±10); direct entry still works as before (on-device only)
- RX now shows all decoded messages; lines 1 and 6 are color-coded to indicate whether page up or page down is available
- Added SNR display on the Q page (use left/right arrows to navigate)
- Added Fetch command for BLE, which can fetch any file to the BLE terminal
- D is now repurposed to delete an individual file — NO PROMPT
- All files now use .txt; Station.txt replaces Station.ini for better compatibility
(hint: use the D command to delete old files) - Added Max_Retry to the menu
- Added feedback for Copy Files to SD (Copied OK or Missed)
- Expanded grid field display to support 8-character grid
- Added /Grid macro in the Comment field to log your QTH automatically
I hope you enjoy the new features.
