Mooneer’s FreeDV Update – June 2024

This month, FreeDV 1.9.9.2 was officially released, which contained the following bug fixes:

  • Remove TX attenuation and squelch tooltips. (PR #717)
  • Disable 800XA radio button when in RX Only mode. (PR #716)

Additional development work was performed after the release of 1.9.9.2. This consisted of the following:

  • Rendering a green or orange line (depending on sync) on the Waterfall and Plot views to help indicate the frequency offset of the received signal.
  • Allowing the version tag (i.e. “-devel”) to be overridden during the build process.
  • Reworked the behavior of the Voice Keyer feature to make it easier to use with multiple voice keyer files.
  • Fixed bug preventing saving of the previously used path when playing back files.

ezDV also got the following changes:

  • Added support for reporting to PSK Reporter (similar to the existing support in freedv-gui).
  • Began work on Ethernet support for ezDV.
