What's in this update
- Support 160m operation on the MS5351M by a time-delay 90-degree phase shift implementation, rather than relying on use of a 12MHz crystal which does not seem to work properly on MS5351M. With firmware 1.09 and up, a 25MHz TCXO or 27MHz crystal must be used for 160m operation. Not 12MHz crystal.
- Bug fix: 1.09a implements a bug fix, CAT did not work properly (FA command) on 160m.
