Please, do test the updated noise reduction algorithm. It should work much smoother now and allow for more precise adjustment.

40 meters in the evening

Further improvements to the noise reduction algorithm.

20-to-40 meters this afternoon

OpenWebRX+ 1.2.88 is now available from the repository. This release perfects the noise reduction to the point where it can just be left on. I have also simplified the ISM decoder pipeline and added a separate WMBus decoder, since the default ISM decoder settings are incompatible with WMBus .

- Further improved noise reduction algorithm.
- Added separate WMBus decoder using rtl-433.
- Switched rtl-433 decoder to CF32 IQ format.
- Removed AGC from the rtl-433 decoder input.
- Removed 250kHz bandpass from the ISM mode.
- Fixed CW skimmer window not showing up.

OpenWebRX+ 1.2.89 is now available from the repository. This release adds protection against the recent wave of robotic profile scans affecting OpenWebRX servers across the world. Once a robot is detected, its IP will be banned for 12 hours. See below for all changes.

- Automatically banning profile-scanning robots.
- Added message about incorrect values in forms.
- Added wrapping long ISM values.

HydraSDR RFone support has been merged into OWRX+ code base and will be present in the next OWRX+ release.

Lively 40m tonight, with a visit from the pagers.

OpenWebRX+ 1.2.90 is now available from the repository. This release majorly improves AGC and fixes remaining bugs in the noise reduction algorithm. I have also fixed operation of the 8.33kHz airband frequency step and merged support for HydraSDR devices. Finally, by public request, you can once again set the initial GUI theme in the Settings. See below for all changes.

- Added support for the HydraSDR RFOne receiver.
- Added back option to select initial UI theme.
- Fixed support for 8.33kHz steps (airband).
- Fixed clicking in the noise reduction algorithm.
- Fixed AGC algorithm, with help from VK4DL.
- Refactored frequency snapping code.

All OpenWebRX+ 1.2.90 packages have been updated to fix scroll wheel zooming now. If you are still experiencing this issue, please, reinstall openwebrx package to fix it.

Time to drag out the dish!
