DESCRIPTION

The RMS distributions DO NOT CONTAIN VIRUSES. If your browser or computer tells you they do then it's a false positive. I don't distribute malware and I don't appreciate direct or indirect accusations (I'm talking to you Patreon) that I do.

What's New?

This release was mainly to level things out of beta, but there are a few upgrades to functionality.

  • Maidenhead locator system

  • Scrambler frequency upper limit increased to 4500 Hz

  • RMS 'Settings' Tab
    In preparation for the first mainstream release. (This was a lot of work)

  • RMS 'Calibration' Tab

5.08.01A Update?

  • Added 'Main Menu -> GPS -> Off While TX'
    Turns GPS off when you transmit to help reduce audio interference on TX audio.

  • Decreased Long Wave reception limit to 100 kHz

  • "Sprit Box" sweep mode in FM tuner.
    This was a request, but to me it seems completely useless.
    LP-0 To start a fast sweep of 70-108 MHz.
    Press any key during fast sweep to stop.

  • RMS CHIRP .csv channel export function.

5.08.01AA RMS Update?

  • CHIRP exporting

    • 'N/T' channels fixed.

    • 'WFM' and 'WAM' now export correctly as just 'FM' and 'AM'

    • Added user dialog when channels have only single side privacy codes set, to choose using cross mode or to set TX and RX privacy codes to the same.

  • Settings Tab, 'APRS Popup Time' decimal place issue fixed.

5.08.01B Update?

  • Improving the "Scan TX Too?" setting.
    Before, this could end up with channels being saved back after scanning in a reversed state. Hopefully this won't happen now.

  • Added "Menu -> Display -> Heartbeat Style"
    Choose between flashing the Green/Red LED or the Keypad.

  • Added "Insert" and "Delete" to channel list right click menu.
