Yet another update to BandView, now to V1.0.0.6.
There are a few changes mainly in the colours put to screen.
A callsign matching MyCall is red when in the Callsign#1 field. I.E. You are being called
A callsign matching MyCall is yellow when in the Callsign#2 field. I.E. You are calling
A station calling CQ is green.
Alternate timing periods are either blue (first) or black (alternate) text, once the software figures out which mode is in use (eg FT8, FT4, MSK144..) so which is actually a first/evens period.
The previous percentage setting slider has been changed and an additional slider control added. Percentage of data setting can now be changed by typing a new value in the box next to the % symbol, or can be defaulted back to 5% by pressing the '5%' button.
The two sliders set the received signal level at which highlighting colours are activated.
The top slider has a range from +0dB to +40dB and signals above the setting value have a magenta-like background colour.
The bottom slider has a range from -40 to +40dB and signals above the setting value have an aqua-like background colour.
The default values are +6dB for the upper control, and -10dB for the lower slider control.
These help you figure out which signals are above the "I can normally work them at this level" strength, or the "strewth, that's strong" point.
While this software is mainly for my own use, others may find it useful/helpful hence the "sharing".

Sample display with the 'high' level set at +3dB, "low" at -10dB...
PS. to turn OFF the level highlighting, set both sliders to the RHS (ie +40dB) positions, exit to save these values and then restart.
