wfview Version 1.5 is out! In this video, I outline some of the new features and show how I like to set the appearance in wfview. wfview is free and open source software for controlling Icom ham radio transceivers. wfview can work with remote radios over the network or local radios with a USB port. USB-connected radios can be served onto the network via the built-in wfview server.
Here's a look at some of the new features:
Interface:
• The spectrum plot now supports an expiring peak-hold mode and a buffered average mode.
• “Top” and “Bot” sliders let the user scale the spectrum data around signals of interest.
• Custom colors for the plots and meter can be defined by the user in the program using a color picker, which includes transparency support and plot “fill” support.
• New Settings tab design with categories
• New “Log” button brings up the program log in-situ. “Send to termbin.com” button will send the log file to termbin.com and give you a URL which you can share.
• New “Radio Status” button shows what you are connected to
• New support for High-DPI screens; interface elements should scale much more gracefully now
Audio:
• Three cross-platform audio backends (Qt Audio, Port Audio, and RT Audio), allowing you to select the best audio for your system.
• Built-in audio stream format converter handles sample rate, channel count, and codec differences seamlessly.
• Three new audio meter choices (TxAudio, RxAudio, and TxRxAudio) let you see the audio levels in real-time, greatly easing the task of setting up good levels on a computer and verifying loopback audio.
Connectivity:
• Greatly enhanced LAN support for radios with built-in ethernet as well when using wfview as a server.
• Wfview can now “mangle” and “de-mangle” the spectrum data for the pseudo-serial port, allowing programs written for different spectrum formats to display the spectrum. For example, N1MM+ logger can show the spectrum of the IC-7610, even if using the ethernet connection.
• Improved support for Hamlib rigctld emulation; supports popular “multicommands” needed for CQRLOG.
• More robust pseudo-terminal support for macOS and Linux.
Radios:
• Added support for more radios: IC-736, IC-746, IC-7410, IC-7600, and IC-9100.
• Added multiple types of meters (SWR, ALC, COMP, etc)
• Added manual model override for older radios
• Older radios lacking a PTT command can be used by connecting the RTS signal to the PTT, which is done with many popular computer adapters.
