• Navigator
  • Add Navigator terminal unit support for FSK options setting panel
  • •   RTTY browser decode
      • fix browser decoder sense when transceiver is in LSB type mode, i.e. FSK, LSB, LSB-D etc.
    •   8pskF
      • Fixed bug in 8psk 125F/250F init code
        • Bad constraint length was causing decoder to fail
      • New preamble for 8PSK FEC modes
        • FEC modes preamble is now a continuous tone at center-frequency
        • Gives reference for clicking &  selecting signal on waterfall.
        • Is backwards compatible with  previous-version 8psk preambles
      • Adjusted 8PSK-F modes flush/postamble length much longer
      • Can visually see the inlv flush and postamble “tail” on  waterfall
      • New flust/postamble extends beyond data, to prevent cutoff
      • Code, formatting, and comments cleaned-up for 8PSK code
• nanoIO is the interface code for the device nanoIO, an Arduino project that provide hard line keying of CW and FSK
  • nanoFSK
    • Add interface and support code for nanoIO / tinyFSK Arduino FSK keyers
    • Modify waterfall frequency display for transceiver FSK
    • Modify dxcluster qsy operations to provide correct QSY for transceiver FSK
    • Add TTY transceiver mode recognition if transceiver mode string contains RTTY or FSK
  • nanoCW
    • Add CW support using nanoIO
    • CW WPM 5 to 100
    • CW dash/dot ratio: 2.5 to 3.5

• K2/K3/KX3 data modes
  • Add DATA / DATA-R as FSK type submodes if either tinyFSK, Navigator or Right-Channel FSK signaling interface is enabled¸
• Modem start frequency
  • Change initialization of modem start up frequency – prevent unintended start @ 1000 Hz for every change in mode.
  • Modem startup will honor the sweet spot frequency unless it is incompatible with the modem requirement
• fsq/ifkp audit logs
  • Enable audit log open/close from configuration panel
  • Correct date-time stamp in logs
