November 14 – QIRX 4.2.4 released

Posted on by FMDABDXer
DAB

Clem Schmidt has just released QIRX 4.2. 4.
I installed 4.2.4 over 4.2.3 and it all worked nicely except for TII decoding: nothing happened.
Running the .msi installer again and choosing uninstall QIRX, then running it again and installing QIRX solved this issue quickly.
What’s new in QIRX 4.2.4?
° DAB CIR: the transmitter names beneath the TII Id selectable, persistant.
° DAB TII Table: ETSI conformance indicated individually for every transmitter.
° DAB SPI: Progress circle.
° WFM Stereo Pilot: Precision frequency calculation (<10mHz).
More details about this new 4.2.4 can be found on the QIRX history page.
Download the excellent QIRX 4.2.4 here.

November 11 2024 – Qt-DAB-6.8 released

Posted on by FMDABDXer

Yesterday Jan Van Katwijk released Qt-DAB-6.8
You can download the new Qt-DAB and the manual on Jan’s Github releases page.
Jan Van Katwijk appreciates your comments and feedback on his Qt-DAB Github issues page.

What’s new?
° There’s a new .ini file (.qt-dab-6.8.ini) as the old one had become a bit messy.
° The new .ini file will not know your location. This will need to be entered once more.
Upon starting Qt you’ll get a warning.

° Users can change the path for files in the Configuration and control widget.

° Also new: the service selected will be retained after returning to the channel during a session.

Qt-DAB-6.8

Update: November 12 2024.
A small compass was added to the received TII widget visualising the received signal direction.
