A new branch, opengl, has working QtRadio code that uses OpenGL shaders to compute and display the waterfall. The waterfall is actually a 3-D cube and you can pan/zoom with mouse drags on the waterfall display. Drag it all the way to one side and you can have a glimpse of the sides of the cube. The aim of this QtRadio is to offload work from the cpu to the gpu. If your system has a weak cpu (eg atom) and a powerful gpu (eg nvidia ION) it should reduce the cpu util significantly.

Protocol-3 capable version (protocol-3 branch) of aHPSDR (Android Client). This version may not work with non-protocol-3 dspservers.

A new build for windows from the new protocol-3 branch is available at: http://napan.com/ve9gj/qtradio-protocol-3.zip (Built Mar 18 2012). This uses the new protocol-3 and should be able to connect with master and protocol-3 servers. Still experimental. It contains improvements to the spectrum and waterfall refresh rates for remote connections.

New build of aHPSDR (rxtx-opencl branch). This version has updates by kb3omm and a fast color waterfall algorithm.

New Windows build of QtRadio (master branch) Download: http://napan.com/ve9gj/qtradio-master.zip

Graeme ZL2APV has coded CW receive in QtRadio to behave the same as Kenwood, Yaesu, K3 etc.

Frank DG1SBG has got QtRadio to run on Mac OS X 10.6.8 ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaWnr6Pn3ek

New Windows build of QtRadio (master branch) Download: http://napan.com/ve9gj/qtradio-master.zip

The android client AHPSDR now has a Server list feature just like QtRadio. Look under the menu item Servers and select from among the active servers Download information on the AHPSDR page
The branch to use for most users is now the master branch. This is the one that most dspservers are running
Fixed SetTXAMCarrierLevel bug when tx ="all" in master branch
Two key Rx audio functions into their own QThread in QtRadio. This should help lower spec'd PCs
Fixed a bug where the band edge line in the spectrum display was off by the offset value of the dspserver.
