interesting - anyone found instructions on how to flash from a non-Windows device or am I breaking out the old windows laptop?
Would like to know this to, as my main computer is a Mac mini and having to drag out the windows 7 laptop is a pain in the neck as the software is blocked on my work computer

There is already an update to that release. Installed it tonight without any problems.

Yep v2.11 is out.
To flash with Linux run the flash.sh file. Iām using Windows but tested this on Linux and it worked.
As for Mac, I donāt know.
If it says it canāt detect a USB device, run sudo apt remove brltty (drivers - /dev/ttyUSB0 not present in Ubuntu 22.04 - Ask Ubuntu) followed by reconnecting the radio.

Upgraded mine this morning - had to break out the raspberry pi though.
The boot button is on the inside of the radio and I had to pull the bloody thing apart to get to it

Which model do you have? Iām going to try the update today. Mine is the blue one.
There is no boot button required on my blue model. Turn on and run bat file.

Regarding the remotely accessible TEF6686ās on the FM-DX Webserver;
are there any plug-in/add-ons that provide RT Logging, similar to the RDS Logger that
@melb_mateyy0 has?
I am only aware of the double clicking on the RT field to copy & paste the last two RT (A/B field) messages into another app.
Would be handy for populating & updating our RDS List.
Did my V2.11 update todayā¦ even though my Blue one is non LNA, it doesnāt have a boot button either. So made it easy to run the batch file, assign the COM port and update. All done in less than 1 minute.
My only grumble with the V2.11 update is that the tuning button now operates in the opposite direction (ie now have to turn the knob anti clockwise to tune UP, clockwise to go down, Iām sure the previous one was the opposite way around, but I canāt find anything in settings to change thatā¦ that feels an unnatural operation to me to do)
On the plus side, the problem with birdies is reduced at least (fingers crossed, didnāt hear any when I tested it just then) and am liking the customisability for fonts, themes etc (though Iāve pretty much reverted back to the default āEssenceā one as the others are all too much the one colour).

I had that problem when I did my first upgrade & thereās a very easy button press operation to fix that, that another user told me how to remedy. Iād since forgotten, but fortunately thereās a Youtube video on how to rectify.

Make sure to press the yellow button at the top - not the middle.

Thanks!
Yes, i just did that and it turned the screen upside down! Possibly useful for those that are left handed maybe?
Screen now unflipped and rotary tuning direction changed back to the way it should beā¦ Iām happy now

Was checking out the Athens webserver. Kinda feels like a waste of bandwidth that we have 800kHz spacings while they use 300kHz spacings, and that includes 40kW stations.

The way things are done here would need to change & either be agreed on strict operation policies by everyone or be highly enforced by ACMA to have 300kHz spacing.
Not sure about Greece, but in several European countries, FM stations have to comply to a standard called ITU-R BS.412, this limits the allowable MPX power levels (audio, not ERP) measured over a 60 second period, it reduces the loudness of the station but also the MPX bandwidth of the channel so it canāt over-modulate & bleed into an adjacent channel & some countries also have to tightly fit into the Stokkemask graph, which also reduces the MPX bandwidth & reduces slightly the audio frequencies & āsoundā, by knocking off (limiting/filtering) the upper audio frequencies.

Yes I noticed that too, when having a brief go on the Athens node. Italy is another country that jams in stations (both legal and pirate!)
Also noticed a new node at Puerto Williams, Argentina (!) That is about as far south as you can travel without hitting penguins and sea ice. Because the geomagnetic equator dips south at South American longitudes, auroral DX is likely suppressed there (and, for the same reason, TEP is possible to about 35 degrees south in Chile).

Tell you what, we could do with some sort of enforced standard here, and that applies to both community and commercial stations. The bleed over of some stations is horrific.

I find that my Sydney FM-DX-webserver disconnects from my TEF radio every few days. Restarting the app fixes it, but I need to do this manually. Does anyone know of a way to automate this?
Itād be great if the author behind the server software could add in a function for the program to automatically try to reconnect to the radio when the connection drops out instead of needing to manually restart the program.
