Just to throw in my $10. I think we all should be happy Uniden is finally working on updating the firmware. We all know that there will be teething problems with it. As donc13 said
this is very true especially with some systems being customized for that particular services needs.
If we want to help and do not have test equipment/logger capabilities the best thing is to provide even basic info on the changes in reception seen on the local system (not complain).
If we support the ongoing work then Uniden will remain motivated to keep improving and adding to it. It is obvious Uniden is listening. They have made a huge concession to everyone. They released a roll back capability so anyone with issues can choose to go back to what they had before and then wait for somethig more stable. I applaud Uniden's doing this it is a huge step forward in customer support.
I've made this suggestion many years ago in regards to releasing the beta firmware to those that wish to "test drive" it and report back, much the way UPMan did for us. While I understand the need for beta testers, he's correct that they can't be everywhere, and by doing it this way, now they can since we all become surrogate beta testers without the perks. The very first thread gives detailed instructions on how to load the beta firmware, and a disclaimer that you're on your own if you screw it up. I check the link to the WiKi every so often, and while I understand we didn't receive notification of a new release, we now have it if you want it.
