Another Qt_DAB-6.5Beta update today by Jan Van Katwijk.
Download Qt_DAB-6.5Beta here.

In previous Beta releases the location, distance and bearing indicator could be found in the main Widget (1).
However the corresponding TII’s could only be found in the spectrumscope tab TII (2).

In today’s release location, distance and bearing indication are still in the main Widget, but the currently received TII is now also in the main Widget (2) and in the spectrumscope tab TII (3) too making it easier to see which other TIIs have been received recently in this Block.
