Rocky 1.1 released - new features


 

I have just released Rocky 1.1. Two new functions hav been added.

1. Multi-band support. The drop-down button to the right of the frequency display allows you to select one of the pre-defined bands. For each band, the LO frequency and I/Q balance info are stored. Run the program once, then open Rocky.ini in a text editor and add/delete/edit the band definitions if necessary.

2. WAV file recording/playback. You can record either the input I/Q signals or the output audio signal. The I/Q recording can be played back in Rocky. The recordings of the output signal can be played in MS Multimedia Player. Please enter your name, callsign and QTH in the Settings dialog. Rocky will put these data in the comments section of your wav recordings so that other users will see at a glance when and where the recording was made, who made it, and what the LO frequency was. When playing an I/Q wave recording, you can view this info by moving your mouse cursor over the playback progress bar.

Hi Alex,

Great!

The support for multi-band will be a huge hit. Also, the wav
playback-record is a very welcome addition since (I think) you will be
able to play wave files recorded with PowerSDR and vise verse.

Excellent, Alex!

As an owner of a multiband SoftRock, I thank you profusely! I look
forward to trying it later this evening. Thanks once again for all
your fine work.

Alex,

Just tried out 1.1 with the PowerSDR wav files. Now it works great. No feedback. Got all the surface mount stuff soldered to the SoftRock 40 board. Now I have to get the rest on, and then I will try Rocky with a real SoftRock 40.

Thanks,
