After the fact I know, but interesting none the less.
It's interesting that two version of the file are now available on the Radio Shack support page with the same August 17, 2006 date.

The first file was the 1.3 updater with no verbage as to what the change was for, and now a zipped file including the PDF with the instructions and a statement:
"New in this version DSP APP Firmware Version U1.3 provides the following enhancements to your PRO-96/2096 Digital Trunking Scanner:
Improved decoding of digital audio on the Detroit, Michigan Project 25 Trunked Radio System The DSP digital decoder was fine tuned to maximize performance when used on the Detroit, Michigan and similar Project 25 trunked radio system.
Improved digital decoding of weak or distorted digital signals
The enhancements that were made to the digital decoder to provide improved digital performance on systems like the Detroit Project 25 system also provide noticeable decoding improvement on all supported digital system types in areas with weak digital signals, or digital signals that are distorted due to multipath or simulcast ."
Thanks for adding the "official" information Radio Shack, it takes the guess work out of the update.
