Thanks! Was really looking forward to being able to store frequencies makes it so much more useful!

[philkennedy]

Brilliant thanks for your presentation I really like using my sdruno and I’ll look forward to using sdr connect 👍👍👍

[KarlWitsman]

Nice! I hadn't heard about a new version being out yet. Thanks!

[JimmyArogen]

That is some great news.
I was forced to install Windows to run SDRUno as I found SDRConnect a bit frugal.

As a software developer I know how much work you have to put down to develop an app like SDRConnect from scratch, so I want to say thank you for making this availble on all the important platforms.
These recent updates sure have made it much closer to a mature product, so give yourselves a pat on the back dev team, because you sure deserve it 👌

Great Job! A good frequency module, like this, is almost one of the main features I want in any SDR software. The new frequency manager made me able to import all the markers I had in SDRUno. Now, my SDRPlay Duo is working with the SDRconnect and my favourites frequency lists in my Debian GNU/Linux Laptop.

Thanks this is a really useful & informative video, the memory save feature & editor is a great addtion

[mercster]

This is some kinda coincidence... JUST a day ago I was lamenting that there hadn't been a new version in awhile, and there was no way to save freqs. I appreciate y'alls work, thanks much!

The software looks great. Can't wait to try it out!

[antronargaiv]

Just getting started playing with SDRConnect. Seems to be working fine on my Mint 21.3 system, and I'm very grateful that you decided to support Linux. I'm looking forward to being able to add demodulation modules for digital radio modes, fax, and data. An I/Q display would be nice as well (or maybe there is one but I haven't discovered it yet).

Nice, right clicking on a frequency bookmark allows you to replace / update the Hz and filter attributes

[TheAnzel]

Mac + Server. THANK YOU. This is finally a great pair for my flex.

[nrnoble]

Is it possible to decode DMR and other digital signals such as HD Radio? Thanks for the video 👍

Hello Steve. We met at your informative PPRAA presentation last month. My wife and I were hoping to see you at Dayton but our flights thru Dallas got cancelled. Anyhow just ordered the RSP Duo from HRO Denver. Thanks for all the info and videos. - KA1DGL.

Hummm - I was wondering why this new video about SDRconnect. I have been using SDRconnect on my Intel Mac for a couple weeks and compared it to this new video --- was puzzled why my SDRconnect was not displaying the Frequencies List at the bottom of the screen. After a few minutes of thinking on this, it dawned on me that maybe this new video was indicating that a NEW update of SDRconnect was now available. So, I downloaded SDRconnect again and see that the new Frequencies List is now at the bottom. I just happened across this update, as I had not seen any kind of notice that a new Update was available. There should be a Check for Update function in the SDRconnect header menu.

Docking a floated window is a little tricky to work out at first. It should be documented clearly that you "click + drag" on the floating windows title or anywhere along that strip to bring up the docking tool. Fantastic update and really great video introduction once again. One request... it would be really useful to have a current version number on the downloads page and for the app info itself to help with bug tracking and updates.

[kaezy]

Thanks for the overview. I’ll definitely try this version.

[electronics.unmessed]

Great features - thx for your explanations!

[mariaviklund]

Could it also decode and show the RDS data when dx'ing FM stations?

[DeonMitton]

This is great - was waiting for a MacOS S/W solution. In the latest SDRConnect MacOS version - is there a way to PAN the waterfall/spectrum display, using the mouse device to grab and pan, ie. as would be done when tuning up/down the band - and as most SDR S/W implements? Using the Zoom buttons are cumbersome, and a keyboard-shortcut/pointer control would be very usable and speed up the process of tuning to a signal.

I have both SDR RSP DX and the Duo,
I run this Software Uno, and SDR connect and SDR Angel! for Digital Voice and Video Reception,
