Pro 668 updates

[saber2k5]

I just got an update to the PC software to 2.4 bld 325 AND a CPU firmware update to 2.4 when I loaded the Automatic Update Check.

Everything is working OK?

I can confirm it is available. However I can't bring myself to actually install it lol.

Here's a screen shot.

Here's the list of fixes from the release notes:
- Fixed EDACS patching bug.
- Add delay in USB startup required by some USB host hardware.
- Changed algorithm used for battery level icon.
- New default voltages for NiMH icon thresholds.
- Fixed Audio Boost handling for analog frequencies.
- DAC gain changes for digital "too loud" problem
- EDACS ESK detection fixes
- Fixes for password / alarm functions. Changes were not always preserved on power-down.

Looks like we got all the fixes the WS1080 has now. Instead of incremental updates like the WS1080, we got them all in one update.

It works.

I'm actually shocked Whistler or RS or whoever did this. This is something I defiantly wasn't expecting, but loving non the less haha!

Says a lot about Whistler as a company, or RS paid the bill...

Great news! Where are all those people upset that there wouldn't be any updates?!?

I bet I know who to thank. Thanks Don

Don't worry, they will discover something else to grumble about

And I would echo Buddruosa, a big THANK YOU to DonS

I had a feeling the pro668 wouldn't get left behind. I am even more glad I got one now. Thanks to whoever made it happen and thanks for the heads up on it being available.

 

[K2KOH]

A huge thank you!

 

[saber2k5]

I was able to update with no issues on the first try. +1 on the THANK YOU to those that made this possible!

 

[SCPD]

+1..thank you to those that made this possible. I'll be updating that once I get home ..

Keep up the Good work

Just did mine, seems like everything is OK. I hope it helps with a couple of the "too loud" transmitters I hear on the local digital system. They are both hospitals and when they key up with women talking, wow, it really wakes me up. It's like they are talking through a bullhorn. My Pro106, and PSR-500 aren't subject to this problem nearly as bad as the 668 is.

 

[jnewell]

Amazing. Adding my thanks. And because I'm a skeptic about the future, I'd encourage anyone who is interested to do this now, and not to assume that these updates will be indefinitely available (though I'd absolutely love to be wrong about that!).

updates to 668/1080

the ws1080 got the identical update.so updates are in sync now
