Pre-announcement of PhantomSDR+ v3.8.0

[F1NSK]

Hello Guy's

The link between Phantom 3.8.0 and AetherSDR for FlexRadio is in test at home ! 

A patch add a special websocket to Phantom to send pseudo Kiwi protocol.

I will push intensive tests before sending the kiwi_install.sh to Emmanuel

What is the benefit for doing this link?
What have we to expect?

FlexRadio transceivers can listen on two antenna at the same time in diversity mode.
Very helpful to extract small stations from noise.

AetherSDR (a free alternative to manage a Flex) is a powerfull software.

Aether can use a KiwiSDR as a second antenna. The audio and waterfal are synchronised.

This amazing feature work only with a Kiwi.

My idea is to connect other types of SDR
A Phantom work better than a Kiwi and support more users.

No benefit for Phantom basic users but an opportunity for Flex users to link a high quality SDR.

At this time, the patch install, compile and run fine on Phantom 3.6.0, 3.7.0 and 3.8.0.

Sound and Waterfall are perfect, only miss the S meter...work in progress

OK Eric, understood. Very interesting indeed. I suppose that this will be a very useful option for owners of a Flex Radio. Let us see it in action.
