    https://sourceforge.net/p/echoes/svn/HEAD/tree/trunk/echoes/xqdir.h#l66 https://sourceforge.net/p/echoes/svn/HEAD/tree/trunk/echoes/xqdir.cpp#l53 From the latest trunk version I had to change the method prototype to:- FROM bool removeDir(QString &dirName); TO bool removeDir(const QString &dirName); Otherwise it failed to compile on my Ubuntu 16.04 system.

    More info:- When I start it in auto mode (Shots After = 1) and then send an over-the-air ping it does in fact detect it. Does the screen grab and emits the audiable "ping" notifiy sound. However, the waterfall doesn't show the actual detection. It's as though the waterfall is showing a different spectrum even though the frequencies displayed are as tuned. Setting Shots After to 2 and restarting, the waterfall doesn't display the echo on first test ping, quickly doing a freq adjust -10k then +10k...

    Hi I am using a trunk based build. I have noticed when I start echos with a config using the -s option it doesn't appear to actually tune in the RTL. I press start and my system sees no over-the-air test signals. However, if I use the control panel to -10khz followup by a +10khz then it starts receiving over-the-air test signals. I haven't dug into the code as yet to see why this happens but thought I'd post this here for now. regards, --Andy

    Hi Giuseppe I saw the patch on trunk, thanks :) I will, in future, try and just supply any patches to save you having to do it. I will also look at getting a Ubuntu PPA package together. regards, --Andy

    Hi there, I am new to meteor scatter detection but I am not new to software or electronics. Anyway, I decided to try and compile from svn trunk on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS from a direct svn checkout. I was hopeful knowing I already compiled GNU Radio that all the dev libs required would already be installed. I used QT Creator to compile. The only issue I faced was in expfilt.cpp where isnan() was used. I had to add #include <cmath> and change it's usage to std::isnan() and then it compiled just fine at the...
