While tuning the 49 meter band from SDRs in Greece, I found this modified PhantomSDR+ with a big and bold S-Meter, with an analog presentation. That is Emmanuel SV1BTL's site. If he isn't yet going to upgrade into NovaSDR, maybe just the code for that S-meter and status info might be worth porting as an option in the Nova software.

Manolis doesn't follow NovaSDR for the moment.
His Phantom version is not the Nova version but the community Phantom version, that has been abandoned by Steven (the developer).
Manolis has changed so much code, that he doesn't want to do it again.
You can email him and ask a copy of his code, knowning Manolis he will happily share his code with you.
But remember, he's not running the lastest version where the REAL Nova will be based on.
The versions look same in number, but they are not.

Yes, the truth is that I don't yet follow v.2.0, waiting the final new version to be released. When everything will work, I'll try any new modifications to NovaSDR as well.
With the help of SV2AMK, I've already modified the community version in a number of files, not only app.svelte.
The s-meter is located in app.svelte (lines after 802) and in mobile view it turns back to the digital one. I don't know if there will be easy to just copy-paste, because I think definitions are different in the app.svelte in NovaSDR, but of course you can try.
Our "older release", with the newer version 1.5.5 is located here. There are also many newer functions and/or modified older ones. Check it here: PhantomSDR-Plus by SV1BTL & SV2AMK (https://github.com/sv1btl/PhantomSDR-Plus). Trying to comment as better we could the files (such as app.svelte and many more in frontend and backend), I think you'll find the part of code you are interested to study and maybe to adapt to Nova.
