I recently discovered a new issue in the 1610B firmware caused by the addition of Tetra mode to the AOR DV'1s menu system.
Previously, when the DV1 was in any mode other than "AUTO", pressing and holding the mode key would automatically bring the DV1 back into "AUTO" mode.
This was a very quick, convenient, and clever way to get the radio quickly back into AUTO mode. With the reinsertion of CW into the menu system, which also now includes T-DM mode, rather than the radio defaulting back to "AUTO" when the mode button is pressed and held, the radio reverts to "T-DM", which is basically useless for almost all users.
Apparently AOR forgot to "reset the pointer" back to "AUTO" mode when the mode button is pressed and held. An unfortunate oversight on the part of AOR, which highlights the absolute importance of all DV1 users to continue to check all aspects of the radio's operation after every firmware upgrade to make certain that there has been no negative impact on any aspect of the radio's operation.
I have contacted AOR and have asked them to please look at the issue and make the necessary changes in the firmware to correct the issue.
