PowerSDR mRX PS 3.4.6 Released

[WA0VY]

I can confirm these findings with two additions:

1. Waterfall high/low levels and spectrum grid levels also changed.
2. I am using the resampler version of 3.4.2, not 3.4.6.

So, it would seem that this glitch may not be new.

OK, gent's, back from travel...

a) This is not a new bug or behavior.
b) It's not specific to AGC, it affects a lot of things associated with the program current state.
c) The bug is associated with how and when PowerSDR stores it's current state into the database. This is all the information necessary so that when you switch bands, or from band stack register to band stack register, or close and re-open the program, everything is just the way you left it.

So what's happening is that, when you close the Setup window with the "Cancel" button, it is oh so helpfully taking you back to the previous current state. If you close it with the "OK" button, or with the "X" box, it will not exhibit the behavior you are seeing because it accepts the changes as the new current state of the software. I should also mention that clicking "Apply" and then "Cancel" does not help, as "Cancel" overrides "Apply".

All of this behavior most like dates back to the original, legacy Flex version of PowerSDR. My understanding is that the UI code in those days was quite a mess, and remains so to this day, with a vast number of weird dependencies, and this has a lot to do with these sort of things.

The community desperately needs software developers interested in UI design and development. Sadly, I'm not a software developer. If you know of any, please see if you can talk them into working on PowerSDR and Thetis

73!

Now that I have a 7000 I am happy to help with development. Let me know how I can help. I have 3.4.2 compiling and can move to another branch as needed.

Scott has pointed out some of the known bugs from legacy code, much appreciated. I apologize if this has been noted before, but one of the more annoying bugs is when switching to AM mode, the DSP Buffer Sizes default back to RX=64, TX=128, and Filter type changes back to Linear Phase.

Jeff,

It doesn't do that for me. However, I have a bunch of Transmit Profiles set up, and when I change modes it automatically abides by my Transmit Profiles. Perhaps you need to devise and store some profiles?

[NJ2US]

Thanks Scott, I saved the transmit profile, and that fixes the problem.

Scott, when switching modes AM to L/USB it is remembering the Buffer and filter size, but no matter what I do, the filter type won't return to "Low Latency" unless I manually make the change. What am I missing? Thanks.

Jeff NJ2US

Not sure, Jeff. I'm not seeing that problem here. Perhaps try saving a TX profile when in AM mode and see if it sticks then.

73,

Scott

hi,

with my Anan200D switching from LSB/USB to AM, the Buffer an Filtersize switch to Standard, Filter Type also.
When I switch from AM to LSB/USB its get my personal setup back again. (with Low-Latency-Type)
