Hanbali 10/12/2000 - added Ukrainian translation by Vladimir Michaylov 15/11/2000 - added Estonian language file made by Aare Vesi 04/11/2000 - added Dutch translation made by Ane Duijff and Norwegian one by Gjermund Haugestol 31/10/2000 - added Galician translation by Santiago F. - galego21.org 22/10/2000 - added Bulgarian translation by Tihomir Mileshky 18/10/2000 - added Catalan translation by Univers Bertrana Version 1.5.3.0 (10/10/2000) - support for SoundForte SF16 - FMR and SoundForte SF16 - FMX (scanning does not work yet) - corrected Aztech internal volume setting - corrected script Run on weekend setting Version 1.5.1.0 (30/09/2000) - added possibility to switch mono/stereo on Aztech/Packard Bell - corrected mono/stereo setting on SoundForte SF256-PCx Xtreme - script can be now run even in "night" range (for ex. between 22:00 and 5:00) - added option to run scripts only on odd or even weeks (Note: The week number is calculated as stated in ISO standard 8601 - the first week of a year is the one which includes the first Thursday of the year - or in other words - the first week of a year is the week that has the majority of its days in the new year) - for ex. the 1st week in 2000 begins on January 3rd, January 1st and 2nd belong to the 52nd week of 1999) - minor enhancements (tray menu popups on right click on entire form etc.) Version 1.5.0.0 (23/09/2000) - new installer and deinstaller - new shortcuts D and U (down & up) - support for external LCD fonts, added Cyrillic font - added possibility to record on-the-fly using Windows built-in codecs ATTENTION: Recording using certain types of codecs (MP3 etc.) on computers powered by non-MMX slower processors could lead to system halt. Certain combinations of codec and its parameters could be incorrect (for example max. bitrate of DivX is in its current version limited to 64kbit/s). It is advisable to make a short record and try to play it in WinAmp for ex. If you can hear anything it is OK :-) - support for GemTek FMRadio 21 (USB) - works on Win2000, WinME a Win98 (where is USB port supported) - just install USB radio driver (usbradio.sys) - support for SoundForte SF256-PCP QuadXtreme and SF256-PCS Xtreme Theater 5.1 (www.mediaforte.com.sg) It is necessary to install drivers for the soundcard itself and then MediaForte radio software for it (RadioActive). Version 4.00 is tested. As soon as radio start work on original software the Radiator should work also. Radiator uses MediaForte driver located in system folders, so do NOT uninstall RadioActive. If you want you can delete folder where it is located (C:\PCIRADIO by default) and links in Start menu, but files in system folders should not be deleted. Scanning does not work yet...

Windows 2000 - script editor with large possibilities (incl. scheduling of: recording in selectable quality, tuning by frequency, by number or by name, volume adjusting, muting/unmuting, launching other programs, posting messages, beeping in various kinds and more ...) - repeatable scheduling: running once, hourly, daily, ..., on mondays, ... on weekdays ...., only between ... and ... - can run as thin window which is so small (and nice ;-) it can be on screen all the time - new improved design - sleep and Windows shutdown timer directly from display - new hot keys (Ctrl+F, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+G) - new command-line switches - responding to Radiator's own windows messages - and more ... NOTES: - only one script can run at the same time ------ - recording commands are ignored if you are currently recording ¨ something - recording stops sleep timer (all the thing mentioned above are implemented intentionally) - due to unknown reason 'Check the recording device' feature does not work properly on Windows 2000 and SB Live 1024 - it checks other source (Auxiliary -> Microphone). Solution: a) find the right source in Radiator panel, which checks the right source in mixer b) uncheck the checkbox 'Check the recording device' 07/2000 - this should be now corrected by using new SB Live driver from creative.com 26/02/2000 - added Italian language file (by Fabrizio) and Hungarian by Laszlo Kadlot 25/02/2000 - added French language file (thanks to Denis Astorg, France) Version 1.2.0.3 (12/02/2000) - slightly optimized source code Version 1.2.0.2 (10/02/2000) - little speed improvement - new hot-keys * a Ctrl+T Version 1.2.0.0 (04/02/2000) - possibility to disallow switching frequency while recording - tray menu customization - added Slovak language file (thanks to TomBart, Slovakia) Version 1.1.0.0 (30/01/2000) - language switching support - Czech and English modules - Microsoft IntelliMouse wheel support HOT KEYS: --------- M, Space, * ... mute/unmute S ... force mono/stereo (if card supports it) F1 - F12 ... stations 1 - 12 Shift + F1 - F12 ... stations 13 - 24 left ... fine tune down right ... fine tune up Ctrl + left ... scan down Ctrl + right ... scan up up ... increase volume down ... decrease volume PageUp ... tune up PageDown ... tune down Home ... jump to the start of frequency range End ... jump to the end of frequency range Esc ... minimize + ... next station - ... previous station / ... switch between time/station mode of small LCD Backspace ... last station Ctrl+R ... start/stop recording Ctrl+T ... always on top Ctrl+S ... setup Ctrl+A ... about Ctrl+F ... switching between thin and 'full screen' panel Ctrl+G ... enabling/disabling global scheduling Ctrl+C ... cancelling currently running script Ctrl+V ... station surfing Shift + clicking on close button ...
