NeoSCAN 1.2 Released

NeoSCAN 1.2 is now available through the Github repository. The two main changes in this version are:

• Whisper AI has been extracted from the NeoSCAN codebase, and replaced with a simple API client that calls out to a standalone Whisper installation. There is a new project called whisper-wrapper-api-server that provides a compatible API wrapper around your Whisper installation. This wrapper can be run on the same machine as NeoSCAN or an external machine.

• Support has been added for connecting a Software Defined Radio (SDR). Currently, the only functionality this is used for is to track nearby aircraft using ADS-B. The application will log any aircraft that fly in your antenna's range. There is also a "ATC Mode" that simulates an air traffic control radar so you track planes in your area in real-time.

I have been testing the application on a Mac Studio computer with four radios connected.

The last three share a wide-bandwidth antenna.
