December 15 2025 – Qt-DAB-6.9.6 released

Posted on by FMDABDXer

Yesterday Jan Van Katwijk released Qt-DAB-6.9.6 after half a dozen Beta versions.
You can download it from Jan’s Github releases page.
Comments and feedback are appreciated on Qt-DAB Github issues page.

What’s new?

  1. The ‘new tii decoder’ in the Configuration and control widget is gone.
  2. When closing the map a new map can be opened using the http-handler.
  3. A ‘clear on exit button’ in the Configuration and control widget clears the scan list on exiting the programme.
  4. New position and colours of the strength indicator.
  5. The dx display button (choosing between ‘dx display’ and ‘tii local’) is now gone. Press the received transmitter info at the bottom of the main widget to open the familiar DX widget.
  6. AGC with RTLSDR devices (V3 and V4 tested) works well. Users can choose between HW (Hardware), SW (Software) and off (manual settings).
