Wow. I did the firmware update just because it was available, and without reading about the changes. After I did my 436, and I heard some radio traffic, I immediately stopped what I was doing to look a the display. It sounded so much better that I didn't recognize who I was hearing. The 536 is much improved too. Thanks so much for this upgrade.
Not sure if this update was supposed to fix Provoice or not, but I still have issues with raspy, muffled sound with Provoice transmissions. Analog sound on the same system sounds crystal clear.

One ProVoice system or multiple? If one I'd suspect it's the system or users...
Count me amongst those who have seen improvement. At the moment, I've only been able to monitor a P25 Phase 1, EDACS Analog, and a couple of conventional analog channels. Noticeable improvement, though prior to the update I would say audio quality was bad.

Personally, I'm noticing that the volume is quieter and voices are a little tinny. How do you rollback to other firmware?
Don't know where you are, but Provoice in Oklahoma City on my SDS100 and BCD436HP is great (before and after update).

Since I installed firmware v1.26 on my BCD536HP, all my channels have a hiss and the audio(talking) has gotten lower.
Almost as if it's off freq... I notice it more on the conventional channels.
I even went back to F/W v1.25. Also went from NFM to FM.. But, to no avail.

i have the same problem on my 536, i got tired of paying 79$ to get it fixed only to go bad less than a year later, sometimes as early as 4-5 months. i just deal with it. i have alot of pre configured discovery sessions so that way all i have to do is select the session instead of fumble with the controls to build one. plus, when you go in and edit a session summary file you can change things like maximum record time from 600 seconds to something like 34000, which is i think about 9 hours. i have copies of a bunch of sessions on my pc and load them in depending on what im working on or where i am traveling to.
1.26 works great in regards to discovery mode no crashing! that was so annoying to have one of my 5 scanners crash a day, then having to run wondershare recovery program on them. thanks upman fro getting that taken care of. i havent had to recover files from a crash since the update.
hopefully the next update will reverse the file naming in discovery to year first instead of second first. the current naming structure in discovery SUCKS!!!, as i have mentioned before. you cant sort them for consolidating sequentially. you can try sorting by the file creation date in attributes but that only works if the files were not recovered from a crash.

After I did the firmware update, I am no longer able to connect to the wifi.
It was working perfect, before the firmware upgrade. After the firmware upgrade, I can no longer connect to the wifi.
Any ideas how to fix this?

Have you power cycled the scanner?
Have you power cycled the router?
Have you gone into the menu of the scanner and confirmed the scanner address?

#1 Yes
#2 Yes
#3 Yes
Still no luck.
Weird, it worked fine before the upgrade. Then afterwards, not so much

How long does it takes until you get a message on the display?
What does the text say?
If you see other networks, you can set one up from your mobile phone, try to connect to them even if you don't have the password just to stir around in the pot.
Look in your router that you haven't locked a fixed IP network adress for the scanners MAC adress. Let it use DHCP to assign an IP adress of it's own before setting one manually to the MAC adress.

When you go into the Wireless Adapter and look at the options in the wifi menu of the scanner what does it say?
One of the things I have noticed in this latest version on my 436 is muted audio or something like that on 2 particular analog talkgroups on this system below. Whenever they show up no audio comes through and no they are not encrypted talkgroups. These are everyday active analog talkgroups.

I have checked all my settings. Everything seems to jive and no other issues I have noticed this far.
I have no idea what is causing this.
What was point 7 about in the 1.26 update about modified muting of analog reception?

It is things like this we have seen before with upgrades and UPMan would get the firmware writers to look at and send out a fix maybe Unidensupport will see this and get it updated.

After several days trying to fix the issue. I rebooted the router/modem several times. Rebooted the scanner several times. And nothing worked. So I took a day off from trying to troubleshoot it. Then I started again today, I rebooted the router/modem, and then input the info in the scanner for the wifi, then some reason it FINALLY took it and worked. So dunno what the issue was, because I did this many times before recently and it did not work. But today it finally did. So I guess, the moral of the story is to be like the turtle and be persistant and keep trying, because it will eventually work lol.
