I have a BCD536HP SN: 375Z68001456 with FW Version 1.11.20 11/14/2016.
It is working well for what I use it for, monitoring a specific P25 system. Audio has always been a bit muffled at times and variable due to console and subscriber differences.
Now I see the two latest releases:
Version 1.28.14 Released 6/25/21
ONLY use Sentinel to upgrade firmware. Some users have rendered their scanners non-functional using other update methods.
Housekeeping update to accommodate revised hardware - No functional change from 1.26.00.
1.26.00 Release Notes (04/20/2019)
Release Notes:
1. Change to disable housekeeping when scanning only one site
2. Support for displaying EA EDACS system ID
3. Fixed reboot issue with many sessions in user recording mode
4. Fixed squelch backlight issues
5. Speed up record file search
6. Improved the clarity of digital voice
7. Modified muting issue during analog reception
8. Modified the valid condition of EDACS system ID
Obviously item 6 interests me.
I have hardware that is from over 6 years ago.
Is 1.26.00 most applicable to me? Or should I be considering the latest or some much earlier update?
I don't have DMR, NXDN EDACS or other enhancements.
Will I need to update my database to agree with a FW upgrade?
