Hi all,

It's been a long time coming, but I'm happy to announce the release of auto_rx v1.8.0! 

The big change this release is the addition of full support for ka9q-server! This provides a completely open-source way that stations can decode every sonde in their receive passband at once, with less CPU usage than Spyserver. This has been a long time coming, and I'd really like to thank Andrew KE5GDB, Clayton Smith, and of course Phil Karn KA9Q for making this possible!

Right now we can support operation with ka9q-radio using Airspy Mini and Airspy R2 SDRs. It's now possible to monitor the entire radiosonde band with an Airspy R2 and a RPi 4, and monitor most of the band (5 MHz of it) with an Airspy Mini.

There have also been many other small bug fixes and tweaks in this release - for more information check out the release notes on Github here: https://github.com/projecthorus/radiosonde_auto_rx/releases/tag/v1.8.0

If you are running the docker image and experience SDR access issues after updating, we recommend updating to the latest Raspbian distribution, as there may be compatibility issues with older distros (e.g. stretch, buster).
