What's in this update
Note: This firmware version requires RCP 8.00 Added capability for an 8th Logic Output (UF8) BUT THIS ONLY WORKS ON PC BOARD VERSION 3.4 AND LATER Reordered some Macros to accommodate the added contiguous UF8 output.
Moved: 87-89 - Port 1, 2, 3 Zero Hang Time 90-91 - Reserved for Future use UF outputs moved to: 92 to 99- UF1-8 ON 100 to107 - UF1-8 OFF 108 to 115 - UF1-8 Toggle (OFF/ON/OFF) ADC Channels Moved: 331-338 - Read ADC Channel 1-8 Current Value Various items moved: 698 - Autodial 911 699 - Allow Autopatch from programmed Port(s) 700 - Disable Autopatch Addressed reports of audio from other Ports being heard when it shouldn't be Hangtime Timer setting of 0 now allowed Fixed bug where Message Macros mispoke the word "ZERO".
Fixed bug where if Speech During ID/Speech was unselected, a keyup during an ID would cause encoded tone to be sent for the remainder of that ID Fixed clicks on CW/Courtesy Tones when low frequencies are used (was accidentally introduced in 7.65 when some Timer routines were optimized) Added code to make sure audio paths from unlinked Ports don't "bleed through" to other Ports Fixed small bug in Autopatch code that didn't always properly store Toll Restrictions Fixed problem with PTT dropping during Speech-containing Macros if on a Port with no Hang Time Added Kerchunk Timing to CTCSS debounce routine.
Previously, Kerchunk Timing was only applied to COS.
