It might be a good idea to break up some of the changes into a few commits instead of throwing it all in one commit. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if I'll be able to get to it until the weekend. It may be a busy work week. The company I work for was recently acquired.(03-09-2020, 02:14 AM)ktb Wrote: Yeah... I'm thinking of adding another pair of buttons using either the skip-back/skip-forward or rewind/fast-forward feather icons for automatic scanning...
That's what I was thinking also. That layout looks great!
ktb, please fork the repo and send pull request with your changes. Or I can give you direct access if you'd like.
For icons, I'm thinking...

Have you tested it in a moving car yet?
Thanks ktb, no hurry. I agree with your thinking. In the meantime, time permitting I may start working on a scan function.
@Chrisfromwa
I suppose reception is going to vary depending on hardware and location. My experience compared to my OEM head unit is it's close but not quite as good. With that being said I've been able to receive all the, six or so, big stations in my area some better than others.
I have noticed some fluctuation when moving but it really hasn't been an issue. It seems normal to me, it's radio.
