MX920 Firmware History ====================== + New feature - Removed item * Bug fix / Modified operation v0.2.02 - Released on 21.12.2004 ================================ * Corrected the operation of CTCSS decode with signals that increase in strength from very weak levels (RF mute closed) to nominal levels (RF mute opened). v0.2.01 - Released on 14.10.2004 ================================ + Add 2 more default channels for alignment purposes. The new channels are ML and MH, making the 5 test channels Low (Ch1), Medium (Ch2), High (Ch3), Mid-Low (Ch4), Mid-High (Ch5). + Added a factory test mode which uses the 5 factory default channels for alignment and testing. The user configured channels are not affected when changing settings in the factory test mode. + Added channel scan mode functionality allowing the MX920 to periodically scan up to 50 channels, with or without CTCSS. The use of CTCSS reduces the scan speed to allow decode of CTCSS tones. + Added frequency compensation for the deviation and modulation balance settings. + Added ability to use a plug-and-play PA. The firmware will detect EEPROM enabled PAs and use the frequency compensation table in the PA EEPROM or provide the ability to recreate the table if necessary. The PA serial number are stored in the firmware information block to help determine if the PA has been changed. + Added boot sequence progress indication via the front panel LEDs. Each LED will light up on successful completion of the boot sequence. Only the Power LED remains lit after successful completion of the boot process. Boot sequence is as follows: BLUE (Power LED) - Power supply is greater than 11.7V and is stable. AQUA (Rx LED) - Timers have been initialised. RED (Tx LED) - UART has been initialised, I2C UART initialised YELLOW (Tone LED) - FX828 initialised ORANGE (Alert LED) - Model number read from I2C EEPROM GREEN (Repeater LED)- Radio initialised ALL OFF - Boot sequence completed BLUE (Power LED) - Normal operation + Added commands for remote configuration of radio audio, software settings, software switches. + Added ability to key in output power in Watts once the radio has been calibrated. + Added option to update channel information for all valid channels in the channel mask when prompted to update channels. + Added ability to process software PTT commands. PTTS1 turns on the Tx while PTTS0 turns off the Tx. + Added ability to display the EEPROM contents of the PA and the motherboard. + Added ability to change the software channel if the front panel channel select switch is set to '00'. Syntax for the command is 'CHxxx', where xxx is the 3-digit channel number. The command is not case sensitive. * Simplex relay routines must ensure that the relay is activated once the Tx PLL is locked. Ignore alarms for low forward power until PA is actually active. * Corrected the channel address calculation which prevented the use from entering more than 31 channels into the radio without corrupting the channel mask. PA temperature monitoring and fan control is now interrupt driven - based on Timer A0 interrupt handler. v0.2.00 - Released on 20.05.2004 ================================ + Works in conjunction with Spectra Engineering boot monitor. + Added test for hook switch and accessory button. + Added timer to time-out menu system and return radio to normal operation. + Added 'RESET' command to menu system. + Add multiple CTCSS functionality. / Command processing for radio system changed to allow variable length commands. 'RMENU' now require a carriage return to process. / Changed the layout of the diagnostic screen display. - Removed the printing of aPwr, bPwr, mRSSI and bRSSI from the calibration menu. *** END OF FILE ***
