What's in this update
Changes from Version 1.30
- When in the Center mode of the Spectrum scope screen, the REF level setting does not reflect the scope waveform during transmission.
- This firmware update version 1.31 has been improved, so it will not reset settings and memories.
If the firmware is updated from version 1.30 or earlier, the settings and memories are not reset.
However, if the firmware is reverted to 1.31 from a later version (after 1.31), the settings and memories may be reset.
- Improved the transceiver to not display a thick white line indicating the center when in the Center mode of the Spectrum scope screen.
