Greyline FT8

“The one with major audio upgrades” IMPORTANT! If you use a Digirig or other external audio interface, make sure to enable the new "PTT tone on right channel" option in the Audio settings! Love Greyline? Stop by my Ko-Fi! https://ko-fi.com/kb0rb **NOTE** - The WRL logging API is a work in progress, and I will continue to improve the app as their API evolves! What we have here now takes full advantage of what the service currently supports. Stay tuned for more features! Be sure to check the release notes for prior versions to see what's new! I update the app regularly in response to feedback like yours. Read them at https://greylineft8.com/changelog.html Remember that Greyline now has a comprehensive user manual at https://greylineft8.com/userguide.html - you’ll also find a button in the Settings view to take you there Shoutouts: N1CDV - Reporting harmonic distortion on transmissions, significant audio waveform testing ON4LDZ - Also reporting harmonic issues Features: - Added a UDP log forwarding option. This works just like the WSJT-X UDP log forwarder - all you have to do is enter an IP address and port. If you’re accessing devices on the same network as your iOS device, you may be prompted with a Local Network permissions dialog. This is great for sending your logs to local UDP listeners like N1MM, the WRL desktop applications, GridTracker, and more. - PTT tone for supported analog-to-digital devices. USB devices like the Digirig Lite and Mobile will now trigger their PTT more reliably with this setting enabled. Note that if you switch between a radio that uses a Digirig and one that uses native VOX, you should consider disabling this option when not using the Digirig. Greyline uses a tone that will not impact your own FT8 transmissions, but may disrupt others on nearby frequencies if it goes out on the air. - Finer grained control over the Drive slider. On the Tuning screen, you’ll see new +/- buttons for 1dB adjustments. On the slider next to the waterfall, you can tap the gain number and adjust in 1dB increments. On the iPhone, we also now provide haptic feedback as you drag the slider to help you land more precisely Fixes: - A new low-pass Gaussian filter improves transmitted signal quality and reduces harmonics dramatically - FT8/FT4 signals are now only transmitted in left-channel mono, with the right channel reserved for the PTT tone. This dramatically improves signal clarity on transmission
- Changes to the drive level are now smoothed out and won’t send large jumps or pops if you adjust while transmitting - Moved the looked up name for callsigns to the second row in the Gatherer queue screen, to keep the view cleaner
- Fixed the “ACTIVE” badge wrapping to two lines in the Gatherer queue on iPhone - Corrected the status line when switching between automatic and fixed transmit frequencies - Fixed a minor sidebar jump that happened when switching between automatic and fixed TX frequencies That’s it, that’s all, folks! Thanks for bringing me on your activations - now get out there and POTA on. 73!
