WinPSK Program

(Version 2.13 5-23-03)

I thought WinPSK was finally dead until the bright idea came about to move all the PSK31 DSP code into a portable DLL(Dynamic Link Library) and make it available to other software developers for use in their own PSK31 applications.

As a result, I needed a test bed for this new DLL so here comes version 2.0. A fellow ham also convinced me that WinPSK still could find some use for disabled hams who have difficulty managing a mouse. WinPSK now has been structured to be more friendly with more macros and better use of the Function keys.

The program is free to any licensed amateur radio operator.

Fixed problem with soundcard clock adjustment on transmit signal.

Fixed problem with squelch control setting not saved correctly.

Requires new version PSKCoreDLL version 1.14

Fixed problem reporting in-use serial ports.

Uses new version 1.13 PSKCoreDLL.

Added wave file read/write support.

Added TX frequency Offset function.

Added Waterfall Palette file support.

Added a full duplex Satellite mode which also has a faster AFC to track signals with up to +/-20Hz/Sec Doppler shift.

Added an audio "rewind" feature by right-clicking in the spectrum or waterfall display will re-process the audio data up to 25 seconds back in time.

Fixed Problems in restoring the PSK31 settings from the registry.

Fixed Boot up crashing problem that has been a recurring nightmare since 2.00 release.

Allow multiple text files in macros and keywords in the text files.

Fixed Input and sync view problem with general setup.

Added an "Always on Top" feature in the View Menu.

Fixed problem of crashing if soundcard is in use by another program.

Fixed hiding cursor problem and (hopefully) the page faulting problem with text paste and macro insertion.

Limit frequency range to 3500Hz to reduce aliasing distortion.

Added Spectral view on top of waterfall view

Fixed Copy/Paste to TX window problem.

Added new QSO information edit boxes
