What's in this update

There are a few radios that are having problems reading or writing their code plug.

Usually changing the computer so​lves the problem.

If that does not work or you want to use a specific computer, you need to first run the RCDB version of the firmware and then update to MS40.54.

Running the RCDB version erases the voice prompts so they will have to be reloaded if yo​u want voice prompts.

This new CPS solves a problem where if the number of contacts is too large then the program crashed.
