I have just released software update 201904200. This update corrects a number of minor issues and also allows new builds to use the latest version of the Stretch operating system. Although it should reduce hang-ups with the LimeSDR, regrettably it does not improve the picture quality or reduce dropouts.

It also cures the "no H264" transmission experienced by those who upgraded cards older then 201810270 recently and then found that they would not transmit H264.

Full feature list:

• LimeSDR reliability Improvements
• Allow fractional MHz Transverter Offset (thanks to G4EML)
• Lime FW Update checks or warns for internet connection (thanks to G8GTZ and G8HKN)
• Contest number appearance improvement (thanks to G0EID)
• Console menu improvements for Lime DVB-S2 (requested by EA3UM)
• Animated Test card resized for 7 inch display (thanks to G0EID)
• LeanDVB Receive stability improvement (thanks to F4DVK)
• Correct update H264 error for older versions (thanks to G4NKV and G4HIZ)
• Based on Stretch Lite 2019-04-08

I do not yet have a fix for the "crash after 24 transmit selections", so please reboot after every 20 overs!

Dave, the transverter fractional offset was me.
Thanks.
I can now set up QO100 as a ‘transverter’. Then I can enter the downlink frequency needed and it will calculate the correct uplink.

Thanks Colin

Sorry, could not find your original post/e-mail late last night!

About to program the offset (8089.5) into my QO-100 TX.
