What's in this update
- Internal CAT decoder. Now decoding works in standalone mode too.
- Now CW in VOICE doesn't generate PTT1/PTT2 at all. It is possible to switch between "Semi Break-In" and "QSK" using "Force QSK" keyboard function.
- Band lock between radios is generated more strictly. It takes into account also subreceiver frequency if available.
- Now PTT is not locked when TX frequency is out of SteppIR range.
- Keyer locks PTT when SM reports "Out of bands".
- Support for older versions of SteppIR controller.
