I found the spectrum scope by accident and was blown away when I did. I cant believe how much you guys were able to include in a radio so small, I'm glad I returned my clone and got the real thing. 73s!
GLORIOUS!!! What's better than a mad genius??? Two mad geniuses!!! You guys have done it again!!! Now I am going to buy a second (tr)uSDX so I can have one with each version of firmware!!!
You know what? This is actually a very good implementation of a scope. The clicking of the VFO knob to change tuning rate is so much better than other options like the Yaesu ft857. The compromise is absolutely not an issue at all It’s still in beta phase but fantastic and can’t wait for a hard release.
Guido .... this is as epic as in 1986 GEOS (written entirely in assembly language) was released for the Commodore 64. It had a mac OS like windows GUI running in 64k or ram. Your level of coding skills, is not only admired, but much appreciated Sir! Thank You! 72 - KF6IF
This simply amazing - thank you so much for you commitment to this radio - mine is still in kit form, so I am excited that once I get to build it, this firmware will be stable.
@@FarinazionIt seems like a good idea, in my opinion, to abandon AM/FM in order to free up the limited space on the 328P while additionally enhancing SSB and CW modes. On top of that, I'm not aware of any recent HF ham transceivers that don't support CW or SSB mode. Still, certain models don't have AM, FM, or both, just like the IC-718 lacks an FM mode.
The sacrifice of FM/AM for this new firmware is a super idea, I never used them personally, so they won't be missed!!... everyone will be happy to have the new firmware, well done awesome work.
Its a matter of opinion as to what you keep, AM/FM This transceiver is built by a person who in touch with the real world , the direction Manuel is taking this brilliant idea is a good one, freeing up precious space on the atmega 328p for new ideas is fantastic, buy a boom box with am/fm might be a better solution for you!!!....
Maybe it would be great to have two versions: one with spectrum and the other with AM/FM. I can understand that there are listeners that want to hear AM broadcast with their rig
Wow! Ich bin einigermaßen sprachlos. Vielen Dank euch beiden! 😀 Damit habt Ihr der Eier legenden Wollmilchsau quasi das letzte noch fehlende Killerfeature hinzugefügt. Absolut hervorragend!!! (Ich nutze 3Fach-Ausrufezeichen nur sehr sparsam, hier musste es sein! ;-)) 73, Christian DC8CB
I really like the spectrum indicator, great feature. What's great is that even with fast rotation, the spectrum has a fast redraw. I have a larger display and it works great. I think PWM sound has improved a bit. I've been playing with it for 10 minutes and I'm thrilled.
You sir, are the man. The amount of things you've managed to pack into that little radio is astounding. I can't wait to see what you develop in the future.
I just tested the new firmware on my LO band board and it works great! It's honestly amazing how well it works. You guys are really pushing the bounds of that little chip
Spectrum analyser works. I´m not sad, that AM isn´t implemented anymore . As I noticed in the CQ-DL ;) The new Feature is awesome. You both did a great job (tell Guido) I
Fantastic work!!! I got the orange just 2 days ago but already managed to update to Beta true Fedora Linux. Took a look at the forum part but missed a Beta post or place where to mention potential bugs and feedback. Count on me as a tester and always wanting the newest soft. Again hat down for the great work on Hardware & Software onthis project 👏👏👏
Amazing!!! I am using it now. Works perfectly!!! No problem if FM/AM is not there anymore. Well, at least for me. Something I have to report is that, with the old firmware, I was able to shut down the radio by lowering down the volume to zero (null). But now this no longer works. The radio goes down to zero and then to volume -1 but does not shut down. Apart from that no issues. Ahhh yes, for digital you have to use 115200 baud rate and then it works. I use Ham Radio Deluxe with the following settings... Kenwood TS-480, in my case Port 7, 115200 speed, RTS ON and nothing else. I make sure, before connecting to the (tr)uSDX, if I have been using the computer connected to another radio before, I restart the computer. WIth a fresh start, I make sure it will work well and will connect with no issues to the (tr)uSDX.
That was all mentioned in the Video.... Exept for "switching off": That was a useless feature anyway, as it would still consume power in the "off" state. If you have further feedback, please leave it at that link in the video description, so it is focussed at one place. Thanks ! 73 manuel; DL2MAN
The spectrum scope is a nice and impressive add on given the limitations by the 8 bit microcontroller. A VSWR check even for SSB mode and possibly PA output power limitation when VSWR is bad would have been higher on my wishlist.
SWR with SSB might still come. Not sure, we had it once for test, but it was off.... Power Limitation @ bad SWR is not possible, as we have no way to control power from AtMega. The only way to control Power is by input voltage. But we could switch it off.... This is also on our wishlist. However: I cannot promise IF and WHEN it comes. We work on it, when we have time and want to work on it. In the end it´s still just a hobby for us and we want to have fun with it. 73 Manuel; Dl2MAN

Amazing coding work. Can you imagine if you moved to STM32 (Uno4) with more processing power and memory what would be possible? I think it's something to consider for the future.
This was the very first thing, that popped in my mind. But ATMega 328 is part of (tr)uSDX DNA, so it will stay this way. But the next "big thing" will have a bigger processor ;) 73 Manuel; DL2MAN
Very clever ! This poor ATMega is used at its maximum 🥵, no doubt about that. May be one day, someone 🎅will offer you a more powerful microcontroller 😁
In my opinion, the Atmega 328 chip has reached the limit. It makes no sense to develop the project further. You need to change the controller to a more productive and faster one. ESP32 or STM And a bigger display. Replacing the controller and display will significantly improve the functionality and at the same time will not increase the cost of the transceiver.
The beta-fw is really not good at all : No / or minimal differences between bandwide 3 Kc and 4 Kc. Also if you swich to 2,4 kc the signal-strengh goes down 50% . Next is that the unwanted sideband will not good or not suppressed . When you listen in LSB and swich to USB you will copy the signal like same if would not switched . Make another test : go on 14.074 mc USB and listen FT8 ... if you switch to LSB you will coppy the same like in USB . Normal would be in this case that in LSB the signals should be away . Same is if you copy in LSB and switch to USB ... then you will copy the signal same like in LSB , also without unwanted sideband suppression . It is not recommended to install the new beta-FW (t-Version) , it is better let the fw in version "i" ! The only positive thing with the beta-FW (-t version) is the added scope function . / 73 , Jens / HB9JOI
I think soemthing went wrong with your installation as this is way off all the others experiences (including my own). Maybe try re-installing firmware again, maybe even bootloader before that. When publicly claiming, something is "not good at all", you should make damn sure before it was not your own fault. Just sayin´ 73 Manuel; DL2MAN

Replacing the controller and display will significantly improve the functionality and at the same time will not increase the cost of the transceiver.
If I got 10cent for everytime I've heard that, I'd be rich. And still here we are and it continuously improves
How did you calculate the Atmega has reached the limit? Have you some sort of calculation result? Thank you.
The beta-fw is really not good at all : No / or minimal differences between bandwide 3 Kc and 4 Kc. Also if you swich to 2,4 kc the signal-strengh goes down 50% . Next is that the unwanted sideband will not good or not suppressed . When you listen in LSB and swich to USB you will copy the signal like same if would not switched . Make another test : go on 14.074 mc USB and listen FT8 ... if you switch to LSB you will coppy the same like in USB . Normal would be in this case that in LSB the signals should be away . Same is if you copy in LSB and switch to USB ... then you will copy the signal same like in LSB , also without unwanted sideband suppression . It is not recommended to install the new beta-FW (t-Version) , it is better let the fw in version "i" ! The only positive thing with the beta-FW (-t version) is the added scope function . / 73 , Jens / HB9JOI
I think soemthing went wrong with your installation as this is way off all the others experiences (including my own). Maybe try re-installing firmware again, maybe even bootloader before that. When publicly claiming, something is "not good at all", you should make damn sure before it was not your own fault. Just sayin´ 73 Manuel; DL2MAN
