Earlier code did not start with squelch totally open, but a tiny bit closed. (now at app loading, squelch is truly set up with the same value it shows on screen).
I also hardcoded the NFM sampling rate and baseband bandwidth. It seemed "the right thing to do".
You can enable RX and adjust VOLUME and SQUELCH into your liking.
Sadly enough, you will NOT be able to use VOICE ACTIVATION when RX is enabled (to ensure there will be NO audio feedback defeating the VA sensing)
A "bug" that won over me, but perhaps and hopefully other coder can easily fix: The Vumeter will momentarily "dissappear" when enabling RX. But it will reappear as soon as you start TX. Or when you turn off RX.
I enabled the PEAK LEVEL MARK on the Vumeter, so you can easily see in which level your input voice / signal is peaking and regulate the MIC gain accordingly in an easier / more robust way.
Side enhancement: Took off the dark green, yellow and red coloring from the vumeter when no signal is present, and replaced it with dark_grey. I know that some coloring is "eye-candy" but the vu-meter is more readable with this new contrast.
The file rename function needs to be called with full_path/old_name and full_path/new_name.
Instead, it was called with full_path/old_name and new_name ... thus the renamed file ended on the root dir (path not preserved).
It reads the antennas definition from a txt file:
WHIPCALC/ANTENNAS.TXT
Inside the textfile you place each antenna you own with the following sintaxis:
<antenna label> <elements length in mm, separated by a space>
For example:
ANT500 185 315 450 586 724 862
Input the required frequency, adjust the wave type (full / half / quarter, etc.) and the calculator will return the antenna length (metric and imperial) while also calculating how much you need to expand the fitting antennas you got defined on the txt.
It may return up to 8 matching antennas, which is more than enough (normally you will have 2, perhaps 3 telescopic antennas around for your portapack)
If by any chance your antennas txt got more than 8 antennas, and more than 8 matches the length of the freq / wave you want, it will only show the first 8 matching antennas and will warn you at the bottom that there are even more results (hidden).
All calculations now are rounded into the best integer, considering first decimal, so precision is double than the original antenna calculator app.
Icons disappear when they are rolled over using the jog wheel and the colour is set to
ui::color::white()
Fixed by changing the colours of the icons to something other than ui::color::white()
