ALPHA 2022-10-22-01

Post by VK3KYY » Sat Oct 22, 2022 9:14 pm

A new Alpha version is now available

downloads/MDUV380/Firmware/97f4df95bc11 ... c1f1cbea12

This version fixes the following problems:

* Up / Down arrows now operate squelch and power in the correct direction
* 1750Hz tone can now be sent by holding SK2 during Tx, like on the GD77 etc.
* DTMF characters A,B,C & D can now be entered or sent using Up, SK1+Up, Down , and SK1+Down
* Charcter input cursor position for channel name on the Channel Details screen is now correct
* Channel and VFO scan will start when holding the Up key. i.e no need to hold and wait for the beep before releasing, simply holding down will start the scan

* Slight UI change to VFO Sweep scan.
Rotary control adjusts sweep center frequency.
SK2 + Rotary contorl adjusts step size / over sweep range
Up increases gain
Down decreases gain
SK2 + Up increases lower RSSI threshold
SK2 + Down decreases lower RSSI threshold

* Bug associacted with holding SK2 while changing the Rotary control, while in VFO Scan mode has been fixed.
* In Channel an VFO scan.
The Star ( * ) key is now use to mark a channel or frequency to be skipped duing the current scan
Pressing the Up arrow recommences the scan, if its paused on a busy frequency.

This problem only seems to be on the Channel screen. The VFO appears Quick Menu appears to be OK

Not at present.

The code was originally written for radios with monochrome displays. As such it is not easy (or worth the considerable effort) to add colours just for one radio.

We may possibly make the foreground and background colours user selectable at a later date but his would still be just a two colour display.
