Hi Clive, I had no problems with actually running the program, although I did take the precaution of installing it in a new folder to preserve my original version and set-up to go back to just in case.
Most of the changes make a great improvement, particularly in the flexibility in methods of moving the LO frequency. There are however a number of obvious software 'bugs', much that I hate to say that, but it is the fundamental change to the mouse scroll tuning that I found to be the biggest irritation. Having to hover the mouse over the small 'blue' window to use the scroll wheel 10Hz tuning is really a big step backwards. I appreciate that it is very difficult for those developing the program to cater for all of the different hardware options people use to get it right first time, hence the need for 'user' feedback. That is what I thought was one of the main purposes of these groups. It is sad to see the way 'users' are now regarded, 73, Bob G8VOI --- In [email protected], "Clive Lorton" <cl...@...> wrote: > > Bob G8VOI Wrote " > There are some issues with the v1.4.2 release of Winrad, but basically > it does work with some nice new features like being able to drag the > frequency scale or step the LO up or down by one 'screen width'.
