I have just issued update 202104130 to Portsdown 2020 (Raspberry Pi 3). The only change is that the Band Viewer software (as issued yesterday for the Portsdown 4) has been added.

The Band Viewer provides a spectrum display around a selected frequency using the receive side of a LimeSDR Mini (or a LimeNet Micro). It only works with the 7 inch sceen; it does not, and will never, work with the 3.5 inch screen.

It does have one minor bug on the Portsdown 2020 - occasionally, all the buttons get hidden for some reason. The cure is simple: just touch the screen where the buttons should be, and go to Main Menu, System, Restart Band Viewer.
