What's in this update
MCU 4.61 / DSP 2.80
- RIT AND XIT NO LONGER TURNED OFF UNINTENTIONALLY: In previous releases, changing bands via direct frequency entry (FREQ ENT) or remote-control band change commands (FA, FB, and BN) would turn off RIT and XIT. This was true even if CONFIG: SPLT SV was set to YES.
