SDRUno 1.2 issues
Posted: Sun Oct 29, 2017 7:39 pm
First of all, I thoroughly appreciate the work that went into SDRUno.... my favorite SDR program with the RSP2.
That said, I am finding quite a few issues (most of them new) in version 1.2, as follows. I hope this is an appropriate place to provide feedback.
1. The update process (installing over the top of the previous version) deleted all my carefully arranged workspaces and I had to re-create them from scratch. A process made much harder by issue #2....
2. The process of saving a workspace is very flakey... or maybe I am missing something? Seems now the only way to save a workspace is to press CTL-W and I can no longer simply control click the desired workspace in the list to save my arrangement to that workspace? Trouble is that CTL-W does not always bring up the list of workspaces.... it seems as if the save routine requires a change to the workspace before it can be triggered. Unfortunately, it does not always recognize a moved or re-sized window or the presence absence or the memory panel (for example) as a change and does not respond to CTL-W.
3. I miss the VFO CENTER button on the main waterfall. I guess I can click a zoom button and then click the opposite zoom button to in essence center the VFO without changing the zoom level but the VFO center button was very handy.
4. Frequency steps are inconsistent. For example, if I switch from LSB to SAM, the step size remains at 250 Hz instead of changing to 1KHz. Apparently, SAM does not command a frequency step and the step size remains what it was prior to clicking SAM.
5. The buttons and window borders do not always re-draw correctly. The borders of the memory panel are prime offenders, as are the buttons in the main waterfall window.
6. For some reason the text in the memory panel often switches from yellow to black, making it much more difficult to read against the dark background. This seems to happen in tandem with failure to re-draw window borders.
7. The text in the list of workspaces can get mangled if you switch from an RDP session to a local session without first terminating SDRUno. The only way to clear it is to terminate SDRUno and re-start.
The following are not bugs per-se, but would be highly desirable features:
1. I STRONGLY REQUEST that the step size for EACH MODE be user selectable. For example, I would prefer 1KHz for USB / LSB and 5KHz for AM and SAM. The current defaults are workable but not ideal for me.
2. I STRONGLY REQUEST that zoom level and/or sample rate / decimation be stored per memory slot so the display bandwidth can be recalled per memory.
