This update contains the following changes and improvements: ◉ SSTV: Robot 36 pictures (the mode the ISS sends) came out green and only showed their left half; fixed, together with other modes that were slanted or shifted sideways ◉ SSTV: pictures start in the right place by themselves, and the start of a picture is recognised with weaker signals and when the receiver is tuned up to 100 Hz off ◉ SSTV: every mode can now be sent, including Robot 36, Robot 72, Robot 24 and PD-50 to PD-290 ◉ SSTV: the sender's call sign (FSK ID) is shown again ◉ Antenna Genius: the antenna buttons work again with firmware 4.1.9; a tap selects the receive antenna, while transmitting the transmit antenna ◉ Power Genius XL: changing the remote access code works; Rotator Genius: rotator names are saved correctly ◉ PSK Reporter: changing the time, band or mode in the filter now loads the list again ◉ Network Stats: a Saved Radios section shows whether each of your saved radios answers, also while not connected ◉ Radio list: a dot before each radio shows whether it answers, and its address is shown below the name ◉ Waterfall: Center, the level slider and the zoom buttons moved to the left ◉ Implemented several additional improvements and optimizations behind the scenes Kindly use the ‘CONTACT SUPPORT’ feature under Settings of the app in case of questions or issues.

Logbook features lacking

Read the reviews! It seems that when someone has an issues, Marcus is “Happy to Help!” Or blames the user for the issue! Should have read all of the reviews, the application definitely does not meet expectations! It is a fair to middling start, but is difficult to connect with the 705. Very finicky setup and it took multiple attempts and a couple of Master Resets of the Radio to get the application to work. YES, I read the instructions!!! Finally, after establishing communication with the radio, I found that most of the features work. However, you cannot access the Logbook while running FT8 as it is not an option in the tools menu. The only way to access the Logbook is to close the FT8 application out completely before it can be viewed. In addition, there is no method of tracking your QSO’s without closing the application and manually counting your logged contacts. Not convenient when working POTA.
The Developer states this is an isolated issue, which I doubt very seriously! When I reached out for help and support, he insisted that the program works and the logbook can be accessed at any time. Not true!!! FT8 does work, but the logbook cannot be accessed in the tools menu, as it is unavailable. Would not recommend this application as it appears to still have development issues and updates are sporadic at best.

Response from developer

I'm sorry the setup with the IC-705 took so many tries for you W3LEL. For everyone reading this, here is how the logbook works together with FT8. The Logbook can be opened at any time, including while FT8 is running. Leaving the FT8 screen doesn't stop FT8: it keeps decoding (and transmitting). Tap "Tools" in the tab bar at the top, choose "Logbook", and go back to "Modes" whenever you like. FT8 is still running. With a keyboard, ⌘B opens the logbook directly. I work this way myself almost every day. For POTA, the logbook shows the number of QSOs in its list at the top. Use the filter (funnel icon) with the date filter set to the last 24 hours, and that number is the count for your activation. If something on your iPad doesn't work this way, please use "Contact Support" in the app. I'm happy to help, and I can send a short video that shows the steps. Best 73, Marcus, DL8MRE

Funktion super, Preis hoch

Funktional ist die App perfekt. Außerdem bietet sie viel Zusatznutzen, unter anderem FT8- und SSTV-Betrieb. Happig ist allerdings der Preis, und das auch noch für iPhone und iPad getrennt, sodass man zweimal zahlen muss.

Crash

Da sempre crash continui con il mio 7610. Anche all interno della rete e in bassa latenza. Il 7610 blocca Ethernet ed è necessario togliere alimentazione. Tutto questo non avviene con rsba1
