Hi Bill
I hope you are/have recovered well from your surgeries. FYI I lost my sight in my right eye back in May 2017 due to a detached retina and six surgeries later they have given up for risk of killing off the eye. I've not given up. So I know, like many others do, how these little/large issues can upset all the best well planned objectives.
I understand you views on free software and lack of interaction. It is only when people take the time and effort to feedback that progress is made. A case in point is that until I updated to Windows 10 this year I was unaware that the sound recording functions of Scan125 and DriveR8 did not work on Windows 10 and only recorded noise. Nobody told me. Well this is now fixed
. If not then I'm 1000% sure someone will let me know
.
As you know my software, time and effort go to support the DEBRA charity. My little "give back" is with time and effort. I am very
thankful for those who have donated to DEBRA or a charity of their choice. They know who they are but as all donations are anonymous to me all I can say is
Thank You and beg others to chip in.
For those that use DriveR8 there will be more to come with respect to the support of the SR8 and SR9 transceivers. I don't posses either of these models so have a technical information request out with Alinco. If I get a reply then I will be able to push forward with expanding the decoding of memory data such a Xmit Power, CTCSS, etc. If not I will be reaching out to those with SR8/SR9 rigs (if they are interested) to do some tests for me. Will be their gain!
