New Analog Meter

in SmartSDR for Windows

Unless I'm missing something in the configuration of the new analog meter, it's pretty bad compared to the big 3 and their analog meters they've had for years on their radios. Hopefully since this is Flex's first attempt the physics of the meter will get better over time. I understand it's a free upgrade so I'm not asking for a refund. :)

    On my IC7851 and prior IC7800 you could hardly tell the difference from a real D'Arsonval movement.

    It's still a bit sluggish compared to the digital meter on the Smart SDR software but it's not so bad after all. With the Geomagnetic storms there weren't may signals out there to move the meter. Today the bands are a bit more active so I'm better able to evaluate the meter.

    Dear Flex Team,
    Please, allow changing the main meters (above the frequencies) to analog ones and make the animation like in real analog s-meters. You will see, people will love it. Keep the shape and colors as they are - it fits to the rest of the screen.
    The needle animation is so poor right now. :-(
