    compliant with adif specification

Free BSD mods

  • Compliance mods for current version of Clang compiler

Logbook mods

  • Update log field LOTWSDATE for each record sent to LOTW when the upload file is created
  • clear LOTWSDATE field if lotw rejects submission or fails to respond within 25 seconds
  • insure that lotw review dialog closes on program exit
  • restore tabular sort order when adding a record

Default Tx Audio

  • Change default audio output to both channels

remove sprintf

  • change all remaining occurances of sprintf to snprintf

Documentation update

  • New documentation for winkeyer interface

n3fjp logger search

  • set initial search for n3fjp server to 5 second

  • update to UDF-8 compatible fopen call

48 bar macro

  • allow user to select above / below Rx/Tx panels

CW decoder

  • Improved CW decoder
  • removed user adjustable signal level controls
  • added automatic tracking filters for Rx signal level
  • tracking filters change parameters with detected
    WPM. Not Kalman, but better than fixed.

DX cluster

    when transceiver is in a CW mode.
  • add ability to respond to password prompt

Logbook support

  • Add checkband test to new log entry before writing record
  • Added BAND control to log view, contest tab
  • fldigi does not use the BAND field, it is present as a convenience for exporting or importing from log programs that do use it.
  • the control is on the contest tab since that seems to be
    the most common use for BAND (e.g. field day event).
  • OS X file naming dialog drops the “.adif” extension.
  • add code to insure newlog etc have the correct extension.

WinKeyer

      current format is used

lotw addition

  • Add jt9 modes for lotw upload
  • Allow up to 7 numerals in frequency element

THOR/IFKP Image transfers

  • Add auto save Rx images to
    • Thor

    send before the image fascimille.
  • Added Thor and IFKP image transfer using the
    <IMAGE:fname> macro tag

ifkp s/n update

  • Change to s/n measurement
    • noise measured over full range of possible signal bins
    • noise referenced to 3000 Hz bandwidth

fsq s/n update

  • Change to s/n measurement
    • noise measured over full range of possible signal bins
    • noise referenced to 3000 Hz bandwidth

OSS bug fix
