[yo3ggx]

Hi all,

A new vrsion (0.8) was published in Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... o3ggx.rxtx
A new adfree variant is available too:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... gx.rxtxpro

What's new comparing with 0.7.1-7:

- a paid version of the application (with no ads) is now available
- implementation of a new CAT engine supporting customizable radio feedback
- several new parameters in the config file (check the full list in the radio configuration file section here)
- user customizable radio status feedback, speed of feedback based on available CAT Baudrate
- embedded support added for the new transceivers (new tags available in the radio configuration file):
Kenwood TH-F6/F7, TS-480, TS-590
Yaesu FTDX5000
Icom IC-R71e, IC-R7000
- sticky PTT option din direct CAT mode
- sound server using raw 48000bps data to provide support for external applications with stream reconnection. Used TCP port is user configurable
- you can now toggle audio output between media and voice, allowing you to use a cheap Bluetooth headset (without A2DP support) to listen to the radio
- change Encryption to Security, as full encryption is still not functional
- messages when changing security mode
- new config file parameter '<VFO>" to better handle VFO selection based commands
- no more Ad block warning
- configurable frequency step (brute and fine) per frequency interval, as a new parameter in the radio configuration file
- better handling for Bluetooth device discovery and connection
- reset Bluetooth with a long press on "Bluetooth" button
- display the correct band based only on tuned frequency, from 3Hz up to 3GHz
- application menu was removed, all the menu features available now directly in the interface
- a dual function Help button available in the startup page (open online help or edit radio configuration file)
- launch default text editor for the configuration file directly from the application startup page with a long press on Help button
- long press on BAND button when off to toggle logging (debug mode), display meter calibration data in RDS label
- in WebSDR mode can now be used any names for the bands.
- set application font size directly from the main application window GUI (no more a menu item)
- lower audio latency in WebSDR client mode
- cleaner spectrum in WebSDR client mode (using some averaging)

Bug fixes:
- java error “Java.io error FileNotFoundException” when starting the application
- when entering Setup in direct CAT mode all text entries are cleared.
- connection status circular LED goes blue when returning from standby even if connection is over network or USB.
- wrong circular LED color when switching back from standby or from setup mode
- authenticated mode not saved between app restarts
- AndroidManifest.xml error at application startup.
- secure authentication does not work on some 4.x.x devices
- Java error when changing orientation and then selecting another WebSDR server.
- when switching between WebSDR client and Direct CAT modes after application start, connection mode (button color) and radio/model selection is lost

As usual, please send me your feedback if you try the new version.
