Added a PRESETS.TXT file (inside /LOOKINGGLASS folder).
Also optimized the way the spectrum signal is integrated into the cascade.
Added provision for ranges lower than 240MHz but I am afraid that at this time it will not be advisable to lower ranges any more than 240MHz, since some artifacts and frequency running - moving out of place- occurs.
I can only hope that someone with a better understanding of hackrf's inner code can fix this issue and perhaps enhance the scanning speed.
I found some "original commenting" inside the code:
// TODO: Move more low-level radio control stuff to M4. It'll enable tighter
// synchronization for things like wideband (sweeping) spectrum analysis, and
// protocols that need quick RX/TX turn-around.
Which makes me think that there are things "missing" from the portapack side of the code, for allowing serious speed sweeping. So I am concluding that with current "portapack framework" this might be "the best possible thing".
It is to be noted that the "new" internal sweep mode code is signed by:

Maybe Mike or Dominic can be contacted and hopefully lend a hand on enhancing this code.
Added a nicer MARKER (thanks to XSX(H1) contributor for the suggestion)
Fixed a bug that made the screen scroll from top, when using a popup "window" and returning (like, when pressing the DC VOLTAGE enable / disable" button on top bar) THanks to GregoryFenton for the testing and bug spotting!
Capable of showing a cascade with full bandwidth scan. You can select Min and Max Mhz for the cascade.
You can move a marker so to (aproximately) know a particular frequency on the cascade. If you press the select button, the app will jump into the RX -> AUDIO app, already tuned into the just "marked" frequency.
This first version SURELY has space for lots of optimizations and improvement in general.
* No device freeze when you try to close app while it's transmitting
* Bypassed 100 .wav files limit by implementing paging functionality
* Removed useless progressbar and implemented page info line instead
Moved the MIC TX RX into the main menu.
Changed scanner color from yellow to green, since it is kind of rounded up into an acceptable functionality.
Also, did a bit of cleanup on the code spacing inside the menues.
Also added the fields "DateTime" which just shows the raw timestamp that portapack assigned the last packet received, in the format: YYYYMMDDHHMMSS ... And "Frame" which shows the packet # (or frame) for correlating with other software / verify that there are new packets being received.
Also moved a string function for returning rounded-up decimals, originally inside the whipcalc tool app, into the string_format functions library, because I used that function on TEMP and HUMIDITY values inisde the radiosonde app.
Finally, the whole UI has its widgets moved a bit, giving space for these new parameters.
- TxButton and Button now merged into one widget(with compatibility).
- Fixed Tx stuck when pressing the button with key at the first time.
- Other small bug fix.
Various enhancements
- Separate TX and RX frequency control
- Fixed the TX led bug(What does those code do?)
- UI tweaks
- New PTT button instead of "Right Button" (allowing right button to be always available)
