Any news about the progress of v1.5?

Takeshi Yamada

I don't need any definite release date, but I want to hear about the progress of this scientific project, aka this algorithm did not work and trying the other, xx works better than PSDR, etc. etc.
Maybe just for my personal satisfaction that I am involving in the state-of-the-art project...

maybe FRS will surprise us with something around May 15, date for Dayton Hamfest?

new hardware, or alpha software, perhaps? 73, Takeshi

You know they are always up to something!

And so it starts

Now a Date has been given, this is going to be fun.

Bill -VA3WTB

What date?

Walt - KZ1F

But Burt, if they do that there won't be anything to have a temper tantrum over this summer. I agree, late fall, maybe into Dec. If they are once again brow beaten into submission and release early, they'll be 0 for 3. People need to get a grip. I am sure FRS will let people know when it's ready. Unless they announce differently next month, that will be it for version 1. If there are regressions with it, yeah, that would be really bad.

Jay Nation

All guesses, are as good as mine. It will happen when it happens, and not a second before, or after! I bet my guess turns out to be correct. But that's also a guess!

Ya know what they say too, "Waiting makes the heart grow fonder". Awwww

Word on the street is it will be released when the **** lady sings

We are hard at work on v1.5.  We expect to release the first pieces of the work in the next few weeks.  We've made great improvements to both NR and ANF.  Our work on NB is still in progress.  We are in the "research" phase gathering data on noise sources and working through algorithms.  We had a hack session a few weeks ago and had two top notch DSP experts in working with us and that session was very fruitful.  As we mentioned before, our goal is to create the best-of-breed and this takes some time.  We are not likely to call the release v1.5 until we believe we've finished this work, but we will release functionality as we have it completed.  So you'll see a series of v1.4.x releases as we do this work.

Bill N5TU

Good plan ... stay on course.

Sergey R5AU

Steve, just a question, what is real dynamic range signals of the DAX channels ?

Steve-N5AC

Gosh I'd have to go do some research to tell you the answer to this.  What I can tell you is that the native dynamic range of the DAX data that travels from the radio to the computer over Ethernet is exactly equivalent to the dynamic range of the radio.  BUT Windows sound cards do not have that dynamic range so you lose some going through Windows.  This is one of the reasons I'd like to see software programs take the data directly from the radio instead of from Windows sound cards.   I realize this takes effort...

Sergey R5AU

Got it, thank you, this is exactly what I mean, especially for modes like WSJt it make sense.

Takeshi Yamada

Thank you Steve.
That is what I expected.
I am looking forward to seeing new NF/ANF and NB...

Rick Zach K1RJZ

Any timeline when we may have ATU memories?

Walt - KZ1F

That's a good idea Rick, why not add it as an idea and folks can like it. That way when FRS does it's backlog pruning (yes, technical term) they'll have an idea of market place interest in it.

Bill -VA3WTB

Rick, Tim said they are planed, But he didn't know witch release it will be in. Maybe they will update were it is in the plans. Tim said that 6 months ago, things may have changed.

KD4Y

Please Remember the APF function in CW! Would like to see adjustable Q if possable. Ver 1.4.3 is not as good as 1.3.8

KD4Y
Yes, here is a link to the APF suggestion / idea to add more user control.....

Frankly, bring new to the 6300 w/ATU, I was a bit shocked that it didn't have ATU memories.

Bill -VA3WTB

All part of the software development. as 1.4 is done hope it won't be long now.

KD4Y

Perfect Al, lets hope the guys at Flex look into this. Love my 6500 on CW.

Jay Nation

I'm going to sit back and wait for SmartSDR 1.4.4 and the changes it will make.
1.5 isn't being worked on now. 1.4.4 is. 

Steve-N5AC

Your comment is incorrect, Jay.

Jay Nation

Steve, So there won't be a 1.4.4. Ok what will it be called then. This thing your are releasing next?  Might it just be what it "is" when it "is" ?

Steve-N5AC

The incorrect comment was about v1.5. We are working on v1.5.

Jay Nation

True, but your not avoiding work on 2.0. Am I right about that?

Walt - KZ1F

This is like Deja Vu. Has 1.4.3 even been out a month yet?

I think the meta message you, those busting a mu for the next 'thing' are sending to FRS is you simply cannot be pleased.

Guys, I am sure the folks at FRS would like to get 1.4.3.1 (or whatever) out almost as much as they'd like to get it out right. People should just back the frack off and let them do their job. We're the customers, not the employers.

Walt, may i beg to differ??
