A few days ago, Pieter-Tjerk de Boer, PA3FWM, e-mailed an update to the WebSDR server code, and I installed it yesterday. It's now running on my Linux box for my 30 meter Softrock II Lite SDR at the usual place: http://ti2na7u.zapto.org:8080. It listens via the 125 meter skyloop antenna.
Besides bug fixes, making the server more CPU-efficient, and a few sysop features, there are a number of new user features that you may like to try:

| 30 meter band on WebSDR server |
- FM demodulation (turned off in my server)
- Memory channels, so you can store your favorite freqs.
- Volume control (slider in HTML5 browser, otherwise text)
- Squelch, which responds to modulation, not signal level, so no threshold to set.
- Automatic notch filter for SSB
- Frequencies typed in the chatbox are now clickable
- Labels on the frequency axis can have a mode and are clickable
- Option to compact the display of other listeners, so the Chatbox
is closer to the other controls - Removed the Java version test applet, which reduces the number of Java popups
- Noiseblanker for strong local noise spikes (admin settable)
- View last 20 log entries is again included
- Support for RTL-SDRs: cheap USB DVB-T sticks used as general-purpose amateur SDRs
- There's an experimental feature to invoke an external program to decode and report WSPR signals. (contact PA3FWM for details).
- Support for 116 kHz samplerate (needed for one specific SDR).
Enjoy and 73!
