1.2.1
July 29, 2024
New in Version 1.2.1 Build 75: 1. Adds support for the SOTACAT hardware module for Elecraft KX2 and KX3 radios. See https://sotamat.com/sotacat for details. 2. Remember what tab was open from prior launch and return there. 3. Allow user to define the max number of FT8 re-transmissions (1 to 4), with a new default of 3 4. Added implementation of Apple's new required PrivacyInfo XML file. 5. New code to check if the online configuration matches your downloaded configuration (when internet access is available). This will help deal with the (common) case where people update their configuration on the web site and forget to keep the mobile device offline-configuration in sync. 6. New code to allow the server to send critical system messages to users when the app launches (if internet is available). This would have helped when the POTA organziation recently made massive database changes that broke prior configurations. 7. Many bug fixes, in particular for the new SOTACAT support.
