The v1.31 firmware had successfully fixed all my noted problems from v1.30. Analog QCII is working, MDC is working, delay of locking in on a conventional channel when first accessed, no cut out when MDC channels received.
As I noted above, it does appear that the function TG-Monitor is no longer active. Simple workaround.
Also, v1.20 and earlier, the silent scan knob setting would override the individual channel reset settings. Not in this version! So I had to duplicate the individual channels to set for “timeout reset” where previously they were on “auto reset.” So now I have “autoreset” channels for normal scan knob positions, and the “timeout reset” for silent scan knob position use. This enables me to listen in either an active or standby mode, as needed.
Kudos to the Unication team in resolving the many issues I had in v1.30.
