New PocketRXTX Alpha version - daily updates

Post by yo3ggx »

Hi all,

Till the new version (0.7) will have all the features functiona and be stable enough to be published in Play Store, you can dowload daily updates from the following address:
http://www.yo3ggx.ro/pocketrxtx/history.html
This will host the history for each update too.

In order for a new tranceiver to be supported in direct CAT mode over USB/Bluetooth or Network a set of files must be placed in the app /prxtx/Radios folder in the internal emulated SD card.
- a transceiver picture (480x320) in jpg format
- a configuration file in text format, with ".radio" extension

This will allow to fully customize the wheels and the options button (10) in the app interface for each transceiver individually, without installing any application update.

User guide is not yet updated so please be patient.

For the moment the config files are filled only for Yaesu FT817/857/897 (partial functionality, no feedback) and Yaesu FT450 (full functionality, but still no feedback).

If you play with the new version please send me your feedback. I am available here for any questions you may have.

A new alpha version is available for download.

What's new:

- you can now save into a memory by entering only the memory name, without info
- better memory handling, all parameters saved / loaded (if available)
- if you want to save a memory when waterfall active, the waterfall is automatically closed
- last status is saved per mode / transceiver, so at next app start you will get the parameters from previous run

Version 0.6.5-5 (Aug 21, 2014) available for download.

What's new:
- a toast message is displayed if a specific radio from the list is not yet supported
- you are automatically asked to enter your own callsign (or identificator) if not available when entering websdr setup mode
- add direct CAT mode support for: Elecraft X3, Elecraft KX3, Icom IC-718, IC-746, IC-746Pro, IC-7000, IC-7200 (not tested)
- extending support for Yaesu 8x7 - work in progress

Solved bugs:
- WebSDR mode: after you click on one of the memories if you try to change the freq with + or - buttons the frequency jump to the lowest available in the first band from the list
- sometimes when you enter WebSDR mode setup the data about current server is not loaded in the pagei

Version 0.6.5-6 (Aug 22, 2014) available for download.

What's new/changed:
- if you press START button when an unsupported (yet) radio is selected you get just a message, no radio screen
- in WebSDR mode, long pressing on server picture in the startup page, let you directly select the server
- from now on, by default, if you already have the radios config files and pictures in the application folder (/prxtx), to get these files updated too with a new app version, you need to access the reset box (long press on START Button) and then click on "RADIOS" when in direct CAT mode. This will allow you to customize your config files without being overwritten when the application is run or a new version is installed

Solved bugs:
- several issues when switching between modes after a specific mode was selected previously
- last status (freq, mode) not saved in SDR mode
- crash in WebSDR mode if pressing Fn button
- mode and bandwidth in SDR mode is lost when changing device orientation
