February 3 2024 – Qt_DAB-6.5Beta updated

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.

January 25 2024 – Qt-DAB-6.Beta update

Busy bee Jan Van Katwijk today updated Qt-DAB-6Beta with a great feature.
In the first Beta the Ensemble and Favorites view were separated in the main Widget by using the
‘ensemble/favorites’ button. This in my view made both appealing to DAB dxers and programme listeners.
Today Jan added a sorting option in the favorites view. You can sort the favorites to your liking.

Also new: font type, font size and font color can now be changed in the ‘Configuration and control’ widget in real time: no need to restart Qt.

Download Qt-DAB-6.Beta from Jan’s Github release page.
Download the manual here.
