May 31, 2020 Version 3.09.03
This update fixes a bug in the PGXL control on the right side.
The previous update 3.9.2 addressed some iOS 13.5 issues but mainly contained the following changes and improvements:
The whole panadapter and waterfall routines have been re-coded and are now using "Metal" which means they are now Hardware accelerated on your device.
This results in up to 10 times faster panadapter and waterfall drawing.
Several FT8 and FT4 routines have also been improved for better en- and decoding.
Some additional minor bugs have also been fixed.
Because this update did require a lot of work and changes under the hood, please let me know if you are experiencing any issues. I want to fix them.
Stay safe and healthy!
Hope to 'see' you on air.

version 3.7.03
posted on 2020-01-28
Jan 28, 2020 Version 3.7.03
This update contains several changes, improvements and some minor bugfixes:
■ Multiple SmartLink accounts
It is now possible to switch between multiple SmartLink accounts without re-entering credentials.
This way, you can easily switch between your own and your Club account for instance.
■ Support for FT8 on iPhone Max models
Due to the limited screen size, FT8 used to be only available on iPads.
I have modified the FT8 screen layout so it now works on the iPhone XS Max and 11 Max devices as well.
■ Remote control feature for Firmware 3
It is now (again) possible to remote control Radios, even if they are running Version 3, including MultiFlex.
This way, you can now also monitor what somebody is doing while connected to your Radio via MultiFlex.
■ CW Macro keys can now be named
Instead of F1, F2 ... you can now maintain button names for CW Macros.
■ Mute / un-mute other slices
If you have multiple slices and want to mute all other slices except for the current slice, just double-tap on the Speaker Icon inside the Slice Detail view (the view with the number pad on it).
Double-tapping again will un-mute other slices.(thanks Ken for this great suggestion!)
■ Improved FT8/FT4 decoding
You can now enable deep FT8/FT4 decoding. This will increase the number of decodes on a crowded band.
However, this option requires fast devices such as the iPad Pro and adds a delay during the decoding process.
■ Larger Microphone Threshold and volume adjustment
It seems that some devices require larger values for the Microphone Threshold and Volume adjust settings of the left Audio menu. The range has been increased in this update. Please double check these settings if you are not happy with your audio signal.Please consult the App manual for details or just ask.
A few things have been postponed for the next update in order be able to release this update as soon as possible.
(Emil, I didn't forget your suggestion, I already started working on it)
To everybody, many thanks for your fantastic support and feedback!
Looking forward to meet you all on the air or on the next Ham event.
