January 13 2025 – Qt-DAB-6.9-RC

Posted on 13 January 202514 January 2025 by FMDABDXer

The last few days Jan Van Katwijk’s Qt-DAB 6.9 has upgrade from Beta to Release Candidate.
Today you can download setup-qt-dab32-qt6-6.9.exe and setup-qt-dab32-qt6-6.9V3.exe
on the Qt-DAB release Github page.

The new Qt6 precompiled versions no longer have the ‘load table’ button to download the latest fmlist database due to some stability issues.
You need to set-up and then run the new little program setup-qt-db-loader.exe.
In the Configuration and control widget you then click on ‘refresh table’ and you are good to go.

Also new is a ‘new tii detector’ at top left hand side of the Configuration and control widget.
When not ticked the old detector is in use.

Last but not least the ‘furthest distance’ now shows the most distant location of all scanned channels and no longer the one of the currently scanned one.

January 3 2025 Qt-DAB-6.9 Beta update

Posted on 3 January 202514 January 2025 by FMDABDXer

An update to Qt-DAB-6.9 Beta was released today by Jan Van Katwijk.
The updated Qt-DAB can be downloaded from on Jan’s Github releases page.
Jan Van Katwijk appreciates your comments and feedback on his Qt-DAB Github issues page.

What’s new in this updated 6.9 Beta?

°A new and very sensitive algorithm to detect TII values coupled to names and data from received transmitter.

°The minimum level of the TII threshold is now 6 dB. Setting the correct TII threshold level make take some experimenting. Below your set threshold level Qt-DAB will assume the signal is noise.
This may reduce the number of ‘not in database’ messages.

°An experimental subID filtering option had been added.

°TII scope ins the spectrum widget has been modified. It now shows the pre-processed data (192 elements) used by the tii decoder.

°The scope widget has been enlarged.

°The scanning .csv output has been improved making it easier to analyse the scanning data.
