ISSUE No. 65
06th April 2011
Subject: Release of software version 1.2.25
Reference: 93-721Z Issue 2
Changes made since Issue 1
1. Antenna fault detection featured added, open-circuit and short-circuit will now
indicate a system error. A new ‘Antenna Alarm’ setup menu option can be
used to enable or disable this feature if the active antenna type is not
compatible due to less than 4 ma current consumption.
2. Message list summary page improvements.
a/ Message list summary mode can now only be entered from Index mode
when the curser is resting on an ‘in date’ message ID. This stops the message
list summary page cursor bar from moving out of view (off the bottom of the
screen).
b/ Will no longer show ‘1193046’ when the message list is empty.
3. Writing of text to the screen has been speeded up resulting in a reduction of
screen re-draw flicker.
4. Demonstration mode enabled in receiver setup menu, was previously not
functioning even when selected.
