Remote control feature
Remote control feature
Contribution from Jon @srcejon (PR #1414)
The Remote Control Feature can be used to control and view the status of Smart Home / IoT devices, such as plugs and switches, and test equipment that supports the VISA API, such as benchtop power supplies, multimeters and spectrum analyzers.
In a SDR context, this can be useful for remotely controlling and monitoring power to SDRs, power amplifiers and rotator controllers. Or it can be used to make and display signal power measurements from a spectrum analyzer, in SDRangel.
Details here
Upgrade Qt version requirement to 5.15
Ubuntu package is now built for 22.04 and therefore Qt 5.15 and consequently compatibility with Qt 5.12 is dropped. You will need Qt 5.15 which is available on most current distributions.

Remote TCP Input and Remote TCP Sink Plugins
Remote TCP Input and Remote TCP Sink Plugins
Contribution from Jon with PR #1350. It implements #456 as it can be used to connect to a rtl-tcp server. This PR adds two new plugins: Remote TCP Input and Remote TCP Sink. They are similar to the current Remote Input and Remote Sink plugins, but use TCP rather than UDP.
Two protocols are supported:
- RTL0 - which allows the Remote TCP Input plugin to connect to rtl_tcp and rsp_tcp servers. It also supports Remote TCP Sink appearing as though it were rtl_tcp, allowing applications that use rtl_tcp to connect to a wider range of SDRs. This protocol is limited to 8-bit IQ data.
- SDRA - a slightly enhanced version of RTL0, that supports a wider range of device and channel settings and 16/24/32 bit IQ data, as well as the ability to send the remote device's settings when connecting so they can be displayed in the GUI. This protocol is recommend for when connecting Remote TCP Input to Remote TCP Sink.

3D Spectrogram and new spectrum features
3D Spectrogram
A very nice contribution from Jon that can be seen in action in this video. This also goes with changes in the spectrum GUI controls where some have moved around and some icons changed. Check spectrum GUI documentation for details.
New spectrum features and fixes
There are also a few additional features and fixes related to spectrum:
- To improve 3D quality, an option for multisampling anti-aliasing (MSAA) was added This also results in the histogram being anti-aliased: It can be enabled/disabled by the new Preferences > Graphics menu. Default is off - so it should look no different unless you switch it on. Note that the option only takes effect when the window is created, so you may need to restart SDRangel to see a difference.
- A few updates to the old OpenGL code were made to better fit the OpenGL version in use. Details in the PR #1291
- Spectrum solid fill or gradient fill under the spectrum line. PR #1299
- Color maps originally for 3D apply also to 2D waterfall and spectrum gradient fill. PR #1299
- Changes to the spectrum frequency zoom so that the frequency under the cursor remains the same after the zoom. PR #1300
- Spectrum markers: Fix CSV export of show field. Currently limited to 0 or 1, when 0, 1, or 2 are valid value. Fixes a small problem in the dialog, where currently the marker name can be lost. PR #1301
- Frequency scrolling from spectrum. PR #1305. Be aware that as it affects device center frequency the whole baseband is moved. This happens while...
- Holding down the middle mouse button and moving the mouse left or right
- Moving the mouse outside of the spectrum area when dragging a channel marker.
- Spectrum markers additions. PR #1306
- New "All" option to allow both Spectrum markers and Annotations to be displayed at the same time.
- Adds an additional option of Text for the Annotation markers, so that the Annotation text is displayed in the header, without the full height bandwidth markers being drawn
- Bandwidth lines are always drawn when annotations are visible
- New "Go To..." combo box in the Spectrum GUI that is displayed only when spectrum annotations are made visible. This will allow to move the device center frequency to the frequency of the selected annotation. PR #1309
Other changes and fixes
- USRP: fixed possible KeyError exception. Fixes #1284. PR #1288
- Add support for Broadcast FM Demod audio in Demod Analyzer. PR #1292
- Spectrum: Prevent null texture warning when only histogram is displayed. PR #1294
