Analyser

• Analyser tag window change, as suggested by Jim.
• Analyser tags now saved and restored correctly.
• Analyser font size now supports small, medium and large.
• Analyser loads saved projects faster.
• Saving project now much faster and uses less memory.
• More display lines available if you have enough RAM:
• Less than 16GB then 50,000 lines.
• 16GB to 32GB then 100,000 lines.
• 32GB or more then 250,000 lines.
• Fixed minor font issue with definition window.
• Fixed issue scrolling when more than 32768 lines in display.

Data File Playback

• Selecting a playback folder now creates the list of files much faster.

Emulation

Added a diagnostic check for the use of emulators. This code only works on W10 and above, so I dynamically load IsWow64Process2 from kernel32 which avoids issues on older versions of Windows.

In the logfile you see something like this:

05:23:48.185: Vendor ....: GenuineIntel

05:23:48.185: Brand .....: Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 265K

05:23:48.185: -

05:23:48.185: x86 Emulation:

05:23:48.185: Process .......: 0x0000, "Not emulated"

05:23:48.185: Architecture ..: 0x8664, "AMD64"

05:23:48.185: -

Favourites

• Updated the default 60m bandwidth.
• Changed Broadcast :: VHF CCIR title to Band II.
• Groups now have user-selectable files.
• Default definitions renames to main.
• Changed the ribbon bar, Selection entry to Options (see image below). The dropdown options have been replaced with a single window, allowing more room for text.

Locked Receivers

• If the program is stopped or a favourite created when a receiver is locked, this caused problems with the receiver being locked but no indication. With this kit receiver lock state is not applied in a favourite definition.

Logfile

• Automatically save the logfile when closing, really added so I can check program responding correctly to Shutdown and Restart.
  
• Old logfiles are purged after the program has been running for one minute.

Logging

• Added logbook FA option as below, FA is the command to read/write RX1.

Narrow FM

• Added 150Hz CTCSS squelch tone.
• De-emphasis is now optional, selected from: Ribbon bar, Receive, Mode..., Narrow FM.

Persistent Display

• Got a crash inside the persistent display logic, my sanity checks weren't good enough so have improved this.

Remote Server

• After connecting to a remote server, the input fields can now be edited to change connection parameters.

Ribbon Bar

• View panel tidied up.

Signal Meter (SMeter)

• Added more presets for the Signal meter, Ribbon bar, View, Spectrum, Signal Meter.

Spectran ECO

• Changed SPECTRAN path order to pick up DLLs from the SDK folder rather than the main folder.

Status Bar

• GPU, Audio entries on status bar now optional, selected from Program Options, Performance, CPU Memory.

System Shutdown / Restart

• If SDR Console is running when the system shuts down or restarts then SDR Console closes gracefully. What happens - five seconds after SDR Console receives the SHUTDOWN message a timer calls the OnClose() processing, so you have five seconds to about the shutdown / restart.

Text Size

• Fonts now scale correctly when a non-default Accessibility > Text Size is selected (see image).
