Due to stuff happening in my life outside of FreeDV/ham radio, not much progress was made this month. The good news is that version 2.0.1 was released a few weeks ago, which contains a lot of bugfixes reported by users since 2.0.0 was released. Additional bugfixes have gotten into the tree since that release:
- Incorrect sorting behavior for the SNR field in the built-in FreeDV Reporter client was fixed: Basically, it was incorrectly using text sorting instead of numeric sorting.
- A compiler error in the FreeDV 2.0.1 tarball was found and fixed.
- Microphone/speaker volume can now be adjusted from the main window (no need to go into the Filter window to do so now).
- General performance was improved.
I also worked to organize a few hams in the southeastern US to begin a weekly FreeDV net. This net is currently every Tuesday at 2200/10PM Eastern (0200 UTC) and has already seen success: 23 hams checked into the most recent net. Given the high interest in FreeDV, other nets centered around the rest of the United States could have similar (if not more) success.
This coming month, I’m going to begin preparing for FreeDV to attend Pacificon up in northern California in October. I am also going to give some virtual talks to various ham clubs in the interim, as well as hopefully be able to get back into a bit more development.
