Some users have reported the software is not displaying correctly or is using high amounts of memory or CPU after it has been running for many hours. It might even crash after 24 hours. So this latest change tries to adress that problem.
0.84 Fixed Pico GPS Sleep functions so the GPS would restart properly in brown-out conditions.
Fixed so WSPR beacon goes back again after Serial API command is handled
(A bug made the beacon go back only after a GPS fix, now goes back immediately even if no GPS fix)
0.76 Added Support for WSPR-TX Pico, GPS position updates in idle and signal gen mode, status LED now fast blink during WSPR Beacon TX instead of steady lit
The Pico will always boot in to WSPR Beacon regardless of Boot configuration, this is a failsafe.
Moved check if Call Sign is set from SendWSPRBlock() to DoWSPR()
0.77 Changed around the orders of hardware check in Setup()
0.78 The WSPR Beacon will now stay in Beacon mode even if the user changed something in the PC GUI like changed bands, click Save button etc
0.79 Support the new Desktop V1R10 with new improved LP filters. Fixed TX Pause limit of 32000, it can now go to 99999 seconds (27.7 Hours)
0.80 Added routine FreqToBand () to improve signal generator filtering. The Signal Generator now picks the correct low pass filter instead of always using the highest one
Fixed smartdelay routine so it only transmitts status once a second to avoid Configuration GUI lockup du to excessive amount of data
0.81 Added Altitude encoding in the power field option.
0.82 Improved handling of serial data when in WSPR Beacon mode so it is less likely to exit the Beacon mode when serial API queries are sent from PC.
Slight improvment of the smartdelay routine
A new visual toot to view the GPS satellites over the horizon has been added.
Support for the Altitude coding in the power field has been added, requires firmware 0.81 in the transmitter.
Fixed bug when entering TX Pause values. Sometimes it gave error messages when saving or leaving the field.
Also fixed COM port error bug that gave error message if the device was unplugged without closing the serial port. The program could then not be closed. The software now closes properly in these cases.

Fixed bug that gave error messages when editing TX Pause values.
Fixed Serial port bug when device is unplugged without first closing down teh serial port. The application now terminates when thsi happen instead of displaying an error message,

The Power setting table has been fixed.
Before the fix the power table was 0,3,6,10,13,16,20,23,26,30,33,36,40,43,46,50,53,56,60 witch is incorrect.
It is now fixed and set to 0,3,7,10,13,17,20,23,27,30,33,37,40,43,47,50,53,57,60.
Thank you goes out to Hayden VK7HH and Gary W2GNN for reporting the error.
