@github-actions github-actions released this 06 Aug 18:10

This is the biggest release yet!!! I have been working hard the last 2 weeks to make RTL-SDR Radio even more awesome!

Improvements

  • Add Support for AM Radio
  • Add Support for decoding RBDS (Radio Broadcast Data System) encoded within FM Radio stations.
    • Decoding RadioText, Program Type, Program Identification Code, Radio Type, Decoder Identification Info, and Traffic Announcments
    • Error correction for up to 5 bit burst errors
    • This is a completely custom implementation (made by njfdev) based off of the RDS 1998 spec and the RBDS 2011 spec
  • Added Updater
    • RTL-SDR Radio will automatically check for updates on startup and will let you automatically install them
  • All dependencies are now bundled!
    • This means RTL-SDR Radio will just run without needing to install dependencies first
  • The last used radio station frequency will now be saved

Fixes

  • When installing deb package, RTL-SDR Radio can now be called from the command rtlsdr_radio, rather than app
  • Spacing and other UI tweaks
