nicFW880 ALPHA 16
🕑 Added 2025-08-23 13:56:25 +0000 UTC!!The firmware DOES NOT support sub 300 serial number radios!!
The big highlight of this release is the new Si4732-based FM Tuner! 🎶 It’s still early days, so for now it only covers the FM broadcast ban

Set the squelch settings according to your environment, this is an advanced and configurable firmware. You can't just turn it on and expect everything, you have to putin some work.
Piotr Jurewicz
Do you also feel that the squelch is terrible and jarring? With the stock software, the sensitivity was much higher, and even with background noise, you could hear the communication. On the Alpha 16, it cuts out constantly. Do you have any tips for fixing this?

I mentioned just the other day that FM RDS should be default in a radio that can parse data!

Der Radioempfang mit RDS funktioniert sehr gut, und der Scrambler arbeitet jetzt nur auf dem gewählten Kanal. Sehr sehr gute Arbeit. tnx

I was wondering if this feature was to ever become re-resurrected. Remember running this feature on the H3 at one point during test builds.. This would be nice for the 900/890 if its at all possible.. Be interesting to see what tricks might be able to be done once 880G coding has begun as well.. Some awesome updates on this build. Great job Dev~

The relay clicks when it switches back and forth from HF so what are you doing that's doing that? Channel mode scan when you have mixed HF and non-HF channels maybe. Don't do that.

I have a problem with my radio running Alpha 16 software. After a while, the radio relay starts clicking. After a reset, everything returns to normal. Does anyone else experience this?

FM Radio Empfang incl RDS und Spectrum funktionieren sehr gut. Die schwachen Sender kommen stärker rein als mit dem RT900 oder H3. TOP und Danke. Speichern der Sender und Radioempfang mit Funkkanal überwachen kommt sicher noch?
