 WAVECOM W-CODE & W61PC V6.8.1 Release Notes
1. New modes
  • DMR: New digital, TDMA based mobile radio mode
  • Media Player/Recorder (W-CODE only): This tool records signals directly to WAV-files from the host sound card inputs. During playback of WAV files the signal is sent unprocessed to the W-CODE and a monitoring signal is played through the sound card
  • PSK-63, -125: Now independent amateur radio modes implementing the FLARQ emergency messaging protocol
  • PSK-250: New amateur radio modes implementing the FLARQ protocol
  • VDL-M2: New digital, aeronautical data link mode
  • W-PACTOR- III: Initial release of WAVECOM’s implementation of PACTOR-III

2. Improvements and modifications
  • Installation: The procedure has been greatly improved and simplified, an option to delete all settings before re- or new installation added
  • CHU: Polarity now manually selected
  • CW: New, much improved demodulator will decode speeds up to 90 wpm

 

  • AIS: New “Inland AIS” interpretations of standard AIS message fields added. Standard AIS, Inland AIS, St. Lawrence Seaway and PAWSS AIS binary message decoding added
  • Baudot: Reworked decoder with improved polarity detection and enhanced performance
  • PACTOR-I, PACTOR-II: ASCII 0x1E (idle) removed from hex output
  • W-CODAN-9001: Output of demodulated multichannel symbols, de-randomization of secure and unsecure modes, user selectable key for de-randomization of secure modes,  output of recognized key in secure mode, output of status information, output of recognized frame type, decoding of chat messages into readable output, decoding of text files into readable output, decoding of data into hex output (CODAN data compression in preparation)
  • W-CLOVER-2, -2000: “CRC recognition” changed to “Display Mode” for selection of error-free frames or all frames. Option for user defined table of CRC added
  • MIL-141A, CODAN-9001: Improved performance for Golay (24, 12) decoder
  • MIL-39T: Display formats “ASCII” and “ITA-5” merged
  • CIS-36-50, CIS-50-50: More fault-tolerant start and stop criteria, automatic default to Letter Shift after idle or a longer sequence of invalid data, synchronization to valid 3:4 characters without need for preamble
  • DTMF: Character set changed (“*” and “#” replaces “E” and “F”)
  • COQUELET-8, -13, -80: Bar graph range corrected
  • STANAG, MIL modes: ITA-2 "U" character now printed
  • Classifier-CodeCheck: Refresh of FFT display implemented when starting a new classification.
  • State display of Robust-Packet changed (Data Rate, Modulation, Packet Length)
  • Standard shift of CIS-36 changed to 1320 Hz.
  • TCP/IP streaming format "PXGF" added
  • PSK-mode tuning window cursors are now merged into one, single cursor
  • New dat file for HF-ACARS
