- A second version of the Noise Figure Meter has been added that uses the Pluto SDR, rather than the LimeSDR. Thus both Pluto and LimeSDR users can measure receiver and preamp noise figure if they build the Noise Source PSU and have a suitable noise source.

- A second version of the Noise Meter has been added that uses the Pluto SDR, rather than the LimeSDR. Thus both Pluto and LimeSDR users can measure sun noise (for ISS HamTv dish alignment and testing) and use the other Noise Meter functions .

- The Test equipment menu has been rearranged to accomodate these functions and most of the test equipment apps return to the test equipment menu after use, rather than Menu 1.
- It is possible to set the Portsdown to boot directly to the test equipment menu (Menu 3, System Config, Start-up App); options are also available to boot directly to transmit or receive.
- As an experimental capability, the Ryde receiver software can be loaded alongside the the Portsdown sofwtare. Install it from Menu 2, File Menu, and then run it directly from Menu 2. For best results an IR remote control or QuickTune should be used to control the receiver. It is also possible to boot directly to the Ryde receiver.

- Contest numbers and Test Cards (rather than the buttons) are now displayed on the web view when transmit is selected as requested by PA3AOD.
