Minimize to tray; left click restores app, right click accesses context menu Command line params for freq or preset at startup, minimize mode, and quit
  • Users can define shortcuts using either preset numbers or frequencys to start the radio with; in addition the user can specify that the radio app will startup minimised. For example: "radio.exe /MIN 97.5" would start the radio in the tray and tuned to 97.5Mhz. The app can also be started with the command line option /QUIT to make it kill any running radio app; this is very useful when running radio from a scheduler.
Mem button now saves existing preset to new preset number or swaps with existing
  • When saving presets if the target preset already exists and the current channel is also a preset then the two presets are swapped allowing the user to reorder the preset list. If the user saves a current preset to a new empty preset the the original preset is moved to the new location. If the target preset exists and the current station is NOT an existing preset then the user is prompted before destroying the existing preset.
Supports 30 User Defined Presets
  • Each Preset button holds up to 3 presets each. Press the button to go to the next preset. The Mem button cycles through FM1, FM2, and FM3 bands to specify where to save a new preset.
User defined display names for Presets
  • When the radio is tuned to a preset the user can assign a name by clciking the mouse on the frequency display and typing in a name that does not begin with a number. You can use leading spaces to "center" the name in the display. Hit Enter/Return to finish.
Saves Mono/Stereo mode per defined Preset Internationalization Support
  • All the button text, menu items and hints can be redefined via the registry for languages other than English. No language translations are currently defined, but the registry file settings are provided if you wish to modify them yourself. Feel free to send updated Language settings to techsupport@hauppauge.com
Quick Scan to next Preset or Station via space bar
  • The space bar is equivalent to pushing the Scan button twice; it goes to either the next Preset or next station as defined by the current Scan Mode. In Preset mode it is very useful for quickly stepping through all user defined Presets.
Support for Local/Distant Seek mode
  • Local Seek mode causes the radio app to be more discriminating in finding stations based on signal strength.
Support for user defined tuning via IR Remote Control
  • Remote Tuning controls whether the radio treats the CH+/CH- buttons on the Remote control as Tune or Seek.
