🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

qthid

yes queen, that's it. no flags, no args, just vibes ✨

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

This program is a Graphical User Interface to control a radio receiver called the Funcube Dongle SDR. It was written mainly by Alexandru Csete, OZ9AEC, building on initial code from Howard Long, G6LVB. 🫶

Want more tea on the FUNcube project? Go peek at http://www.funcube.org.uk/, and for the latest on the FUNcube SDR dongle itself, hit up http://www.funcubedongle.com/ 🌈

It provides full support for the Funcube Dongle API::

• Change frequency and apply frequency correction. 📻
• Change RF gains and filters. 🎚️
• Change IF gains and filters. 🎛️
• LNA enhancement, bias current, etc. ⚡
• I/Q correction. 🧚
• Auto-repeat tuning buttons (click and hold button to scan). 👆
• Variable frequency step. 📏
• Upgrade and verify the firmware. 🔥

The qthid program implements the full API available with firmware versions 18f or greater. It should cover all the functionality provided by the "fully functional windows frontend". 🫡

⚠️ okay so important thing: the majority of this full API is only available since firmware 18f, and qthid 3.0 will NOT work with earlier firmware. The application will simply fail to detect any FCD with earlier firmwares. it's giving incompatible, bestie 💀

You can use qthid-2.2 to upgrade your firmware to 18f or later. 🙌
