#request - Receiver Unsquelched Indicator #request

Hope this is not already a feature that I just do not know how to enable.
During wild-land fire season I have Console running with 6 receivers defined to monitor the various fire agencies in the area. I have them all un-muted (but squelched) all of the time. But once in a while one, or more, receivers will get a bit more noise or an off-carrier signal that causes the squelch to start popping. But I cannot tell which of the 6 receivers is doing this. So I have to either mute all and then un-mute one at a time or select each receiver and tighten up the squelch. It would be nice to have a visual indicator for each receiver when the squelch is open. Maybe a simulated LED in the signal meter. Then I could just select the receiver with the indicator flashing and tighten the squelch on it. Thanks again Simon for your great work... -- Dennis KA6FUB

Great idea, I would like to request that as well. Back when I was using SDR# and its Aux VFO plugin, it had the VFO's number turn red when the squelch was triggered. I miss that feature so much. SDR Console could have something similar.
Also you probably should use a #future tag.

OK,
How would you like this displayed? Give me a suggestion please.

I'd go for a little colored dot upper right in the matrix windows. A similar colored at the bottom of the waterfall centered on the appropriate receiver might work for the main window. I figure four or five pixels "diameter" should be plenty.

I took a screen capture and then edited it. Look at receiver #4, I put a red dot that indicates this receiver is un-squelched. This is what I had in mind.
I guess another option would be to change the color of the label at the bottom of the receiver window (4 : 154.21 Mhz in my screen capture). Thank you -- Dennis KA6FUB

I think this is a great suggestion. I like the idea of both the red dot in the location shown and also the different color label (red?} at the bottom of the receiver window.

Unsquelched I would prefer to see a green dot, not red. Like the IC-R8600.
To me, red implies transmission, "On air". David GM8ARV -- SatSignal Software - Quality software for you Web: https://www.satsignal.eu Email: david-taylor@blueyonder.co.uk Twitter: @gm8arv

Doesn't the spectrum display already provide a visual indication?

Having an Alpha Label in place of the frequency would be nice as well.

What’s an Alpha label?

Simon, cannot answer this for you.
Buy as far as I am concerned anything you can do in each RX window is going to be fine with me. Thanks. -- Dennis KA6FUB

Oddly enough I had been thinking that a bit more info could be displayed – optionally of course.

Alpha Label = Name assigned to channel instead of frequency.

The indicator could look like this (look at receiver 3):

Hi,
I agree that this sort of indication would be good to have.
