Beacon freedv in windows 10

[ea8ee]

I've noticed that the FreeDV 2.1.0 version for Windows 10 doesn't have the Beacon option, which is enabled in Windows 11. Is it possible to enable the Beacon option in Windows 10?

Can you send screenshots showing this option for clarification? I'm not familiar with any kind of beaconing thing in FreeDV.

Hi Mooneer,

OK, I will send some screenshots from FreeDV 2.1.0 on Windows 11 showing the Beacon option I am referring to.

I understand now. That's actually showing the filename of the last used voice keyer file. If you select that exact same file on Windows 10, it'll also show that way on the version too.
