#qdmr — Public Fediverse posts

#qdmr version 0.15.1 is out with a lot of minor bug fixes. It should land in your distribution soon.

Just released #qdmr version 0.15.0 adding support for the AnyTone D168UV. Beside a lot of bug fixes, the general settings tab has been extended. So some settings that has been device-specific, are now common across several devices.

Just merged the AnyTone AT-168UV support into #qdmr. So the 0.15.0 release is coming soon. Happy testing.

Just released #qdmr version 0.14.1. It contains some bug-fixes and adds a proper satellite transponder dialog for setting transponder frequencies.

You mention under "install", that #qdmr is in the Arch repo. It isn't, it's only available through AUR.

Just released #qdmr 0.14.0. This feature release adds AM (air band) channels and support for the Baofeng DM-32UV. Happy testing!

qdmr being very chatty writing the "codeplugs" ...

It may not look like much, but #qdmr is reading and writing (likely buggy) codeplugs to a DM32UV. The 0.14.0 release may need some more time. The DM32UV will bring a new channel type to qdmr: AM channels.

I've just released #qdmr version 0.13.3. This is a small quick-fix release addressing some crashes. It should land in your package manager soon.

I (likely) just fixed a bug in #qdmr, that only appears under MacOS X. Can someone test it? It should fixed in the branch associated with the ticket https://github.com/hmatuschek/qdmr/issues/760.

Alex (https://www.meshmeld.com/) completely reverse engineered the protocol and codeplug memory structure of the Baofeng DM32UV :radio_handheld: (https://github.com/infamy/DM32-Protocol-Spec). This enables me to implement support for the device in #qdmr :alex_partying:. Alex also started a web CPS for it: https://www.meshmeld.com/NeonPlug/

First attempt at receiving #sstv from #RS38S was a bust. It was also the first time I tried to program my GD77 with qdmr. I think I got that wrong.

After some intense days, I am happy to announce the release of #qdmr 0.13.2.

This is just a bug-fix release, but it is now fully translated in Italian 🇮🇹.

For an overview of all changes, see https://github.com/hmatuschek/qdmr/releases/tag/v0.13.2

Which radio to buy? Support for the following radios was requested over at https://github.com/hmatuschek/qdmr/issues To implement any of these for #qdmr, I will likely need to buy it. So I may ask the internet, which one to buy first.

#qdmr 0.13.0 is out. Actually, the 0.13.1 too, as the latter had some serious packaging issues. This release also marks the switch to Qt6. So package maintainer may need to touch a view things in their scripts. (Also add rsvg-convert as a dependency, while you are at it.) For a full changelog, see https://github.com/hmatuschek/qdmr/releases/tag/v0.13.0

Some last changes are in. So I'll release #qdmr version 0.13.0 soon (this weekend). If you want to participate in updating translations, have a look at https://translate.codeberg.org/projects/qdmr/graphical-user-interface/

Things I discover during reverse engineering for #qdmr: AnyTone engineers appear to be a fans of the metric system. For them a second is the 1/100th part of a minute. Nice, not even the French revolution managed to fix that.

Either the ISS crew is going to be sick or the orbital element programming of #qdmr is still a bit buggy. :alex_sigh:

#qdmr version 0.12.0 is out! Finally! Added support for the BTECH DR-1801UV and Radioddity GD-73, a lot of additional features (proper frequency representation) and a lot of bug fixes. This is likely the largest release with 43k added and 15k removed lines.

Preparing the release of #qdmr 0.12.0 including support for the BTECH DR-1801 (A6) and Radioddity GD-73. If you want some hot-fixes included, let me know. https://github.com/hmatuschek/qdmr/discussions/407

@dm3mat

Hooray that #qdmr is available via brew! That's progress.

I got a "segmentation fault" when I tried to use it on a radio that looks supported (OpenGD77 on RD-5R) but might not be. The writeup here

https://github.com/hmatuschek/qdmr/issues/297

should hopefully help in debugging, I am happy to experiment more or to RTFM if I missed something.

Good news for #qdmr users on MacOS, qdmr is now distributed by brew too. https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/qdmr
