April 7 2021 – Qt-DAB 3.71 released

Today Jan Van Katwijk released Qt-DAB 3.71.
What’s new?
Qt-DAB 3.71 differs only in two details from the 3.7 version
1. for Linux only, it is possible to configure for use with pluto-rxtx rather than pluto, in which case – on selecting pluto
as device – the audio output is transmitted as stereo FM signal, augmented with the text of the dynamic label as rds.
2. the snr view now shows the snr measurements directly, i.e. over 10 measurements a second. The output can be compressed by a setting in the configuration widget.

April 4 2021 – QIRX 3.1.2 Beta released

Clem Schmidt today released QIRX 3.1.2 Beta.
DAB: an audio spectrum has been added.
The audio dropouts problem with RTL-SDR dongles, due to sporadic sample losses, has been tackled.
WFM: new stereo decoder and a de-emphasis filter.

Tons of small errors cleaned, like the empty small tooltip boxes.

Let the installer delete your qirx3.config, because the new Audio Spectra got new entries in the config file.
