Binaries removed due to hardware changes. Please only use release 20170720 or newer.

Happy Black Hat USA and DEF CON! Here's some new firmware to load up before you come to Vegas. You are coming to Vegas, right?!

This release focuses on capturing spectrum and demodulated audio. There's some nice TPMS upgrades, too.

No video run-through yet, I may not get to it until after DEF CON. Sorry!

New and Improved

  • Capture: Records 500 kHz of spectrum to the micro SD card as complex data. Separate metadata file is written with tuner frequency and sampling rate.
  • Capture: Records demodulated audio for AM, SSB, narrowband FM, and wideband FM to a WAV file on the micro SD card. In narrowband FM, audio is not recorded when no signal is present (squelch).
  • TPMS: Added support for two flavors of on-off keyed (OOK) -- varieties of Schrader transponder, apparently used by Subaru and GMC (and others?).
  • TPMS: Added band selection -- 315 MHz vs. 433.92 MHz.
  • TPMS: Signal sensitivity improvements -- improved phase detector, wider OOK demodulation channel.
  • ERT: Added "commodity type", which indicates the type of resource the meter is measuring.
  • AIS, ERT, AIS: Add gain controls and RSSI/channel indicators.
  • HackRF: CPLD bitstream check indicates if CPLD contents match the current HackRF released bitstream. Available under About menu, "HackRF CPLD".
  • SD card: Diagnostics page displays SD card status and details, provides a speed test. Available under Debug -> SD Card.
  • Touch calibration available via Setup -> Touch.
  • Touch sensing improvements, should be more sensitive and responsive.
  • Screen snapshot now saves to incrementing filename.

Bugs Fixed

  • Audio codec reliability for some PortaPack units (also available in 20160222.1 release).
