Software can handle an AZ/EL antenna rotor in order to track Rs41 Radiosonde.
Supported protocols are:
- Yaesu GS232a/GS232b
- Window Registry (position provided by means of two windows registry keys to
support customizations)
in addition to automatic tracking mode, it's also possible to set antenna
position by means of:
- preset values
- manual set of Az/El Values.

Manual check can be performed using the "check for update" button located in
"About" window.

018 - Detection of ozone sensor unit.

Software is now able to detect if an ozone sensor unit is connected to Rs41
radiosonde.
Information is reported in signal processing section of the main window and
it's reported as "Ozone".
When "Led" il blinking the ozone sensor is present.
017 - Ozone sensor telemetries.
All information related to the ozone sensor telemetries (if present) are now
reported.
The following information are available:

Due to lack of information related to PTUs, these parameters have to be
considered as an estimation.

position using google map on your favorite browser.
012 - Radiosonde track can be saved in kml format (and loaded in google earth
software for 3D evaluations).
011 - Support to kml ghost-track. Software is able to load a GPS track file in kml
format.
This feature was introduced to allow real time comparison between the current
radiosonde track
and the forecast track provided by site http://alerteselectroniques.fr
Of course any "well formatted" kml file can be loaded.

010 - Bearing resolution increased (tenths added)

009 - Bearing and Elevation position swapped

(This allow to handle several RS41s on the same working session)

PROBLEMS SOLVED:
002 - The decoding function doesn't work as expected When Radio control is
activated but SDRSharp plugin is not running.
