There is a new "Release Candidate" version available
downloads/ReleaseCandidate_20220220/firmware/
There is a also a updated CPS
downloads/ReleaseCandidate_20220220/Ope ... .18.01.exe
Other changes since the last version
* CC Filter option has been removed from the Quick Menu, because on some radios constantly scanning for the CC seems to cause problems with the C6000 DMR chip which results in the firmware crashing.
The option to disable CC filtering was never actually disabling the filter. Initially this function was called CC Scan, and was started using the QuickMenu option, but after some improvements by Colin G4EML, to the CC scanning algorithm, this functionality was renamed to CC Filter and the scanning happened every time a new DMR signal not on the same CC was received.
However, recently its become clear that this feature is not reliable on all radios, possibly due to hardware differences in the C6000 DMR chip, causing the chip to give erronous outputs.
So the decision has been made to remove this function from the Quick menu, becuse functionality to detect the CC of a DMR signal is also in the Monitor Mode functionality
To detect the CC of a DMR signal, press and hold button SK2 (Blue), to enter monitor mode, and if the signal is DMR the CC scan function will start and will find the CC of the signal
* Bug fix to DMR Rx signal display when SK2 is pressed during DMR Rx
* CPS now detects if the Radio Type which has been selected does not match the radio which is connected, and the CPS will switch to the correct radio type.
Thanks to Daniel F1RMB for his work on this changes and fixes, to both the CPS and firmware
