August 5 – QIRX 3.1.6 released

Posted on 5 August 20216 August 2021 by FMDABDXer

Today Clem Schmidt released QIRX 3.1.6.
What’s new?

1.RSPs Spectrum Level: 8- and 16-bit settings now show identical spectrum levels.

2. **AAC Decoding and Recording**: Again decoding with “Audio Specific Coding” ASC instead of ADTS headers. AAC recordings made with LOAS/LATM headers (ASC is a prerequisite). This solves the problem of the audio recordings having a too low pitch, due to the DAB+ mandatory 960 frame length. The VLC player handles the files correctly. Foobar2000 and the Windows Media Player don’t play these files. WAV format remains selectable.

3. **qirx_audio V1.2**: Change to ASC decoding. Additionally, V1.2 solves an error causing a crash when changing from a service with 48kHz sampling rate to one with 32kHz.
Remark: Older versions of qirx_audio do not work with this QIRX version.

Download QIRX 3.1.6 HERE.

If audio is lost after the install, remove and reinstall QIRX and the problem is solved.

Posted on 24 July 202125 July 2021 by FMDABDXer

Today Jan Van Katwijk released QT-DAB 4.0.
What’s new?

Since the original version of 3.7 came, many changes have been applied.
Latest changes were adding filters to Lime and rtlsdr handler and adding a button on the main widget.

Download QT-DAB 4.0 here.

Using and RTL-SDR some fiddling with the settings is needed and will definitely improve reception.
