  • v1.390: cross compilation, SAM demodulators

    From the "I'm not working on it except when it interests me" department:
    v1.390  April 23, 2020
        Performance improvements:
            Suggested by @howardsu on Kiwi forum: remove -DDEBUG so assert()'s are not evaluated.
            	Added new "make debug" target to revert to compiling with -DDEBUG defined.
    
            Christoph's cross-compilation changes: added "make xc" target that allows cross-compiling on
                development host. Alternative to slow compiles on Beagle during development.
                See file CROSS_COMPILE for complete details.
        
        Added synchronous AM (SAM) demodulators from Warren Pratt's wdsp package via the
            Teensy-ConvolutionSDR implementation: github.com/DD4WH/Teensy-ConvolutionSDR
            See the Kiwi operation manual for more information: kiwisdr.com/quickstart/index.html#id-faq-sam
            Synchronous AM modes: SAM, SAL, SAU, SAS
        
        User interface changes:
            Use keyboard shortcut 'A' to toggle the SAM modes (sorry, 's' and 'S' were taken).
                As always type 'h' or '?' to see the list of all keyboard shortcuts.
            Bugfix: Adjusting the passband via a "/width" or "/low,high" entry in the
                frequency box is now "sticky" i.e. remembered when returning to the mode.
                Just like when changing the passband via the 'p' and 'P' keyboard shortcuts.
                Restore as usual by shift-clicking on the mode button.
    
    I'm interested in feedback about the SAM demods from the BCB DX crowd. But remember that this code is just lifted from wdsp and I don't know much about it. There are some tunable PLL parameters that could potentially be optimized. Please read the Kiwi operation manual for full details: kiwisdr.com/quickstart/index.html#id-faq-sam

  • v1.387, 388, 389

    From the CHANGE_LOG file:
    v1.388  April 11, 2020
        Desktop UI improvements:
            Added "tuning lock" to right-click popup menu. When active a single-click in waterfall
            or DX label area will briefly show a "tuning locked" overlay. Should perhaps be extended
            to include clicks in tuning scale. Does not effect other methods of tuning, e.g. entry in
            frequency box, click on +/- step buttons.
    
        Mobile UI improvements:
            Double-tap/touch brings up popup menu (same menu as right-click on desktop).
            Has tuning lock function same as desktop.
            Two finger pinch-in/out gesture will zoom the waterfall in/out. Tested on iOS & Android.
