What's New in ControlDeck

1.3.1

June 16, 2026

This update sharpens transverter operation and tightens the all-buttons layout. • Tuning with the VFO or frequency keypad now reaches the full transverter range instead of snapping back to 54 MHz. • Typing in a frequency that crosses a transverter boundary keeps the correct band button highlighted. • The frequency keypad now accepts any band your radio can reach, not just the transverter you're currently on. • With every button shown, the control grid sizes itself correctly on the screen.
