SDS100/SDS200: SDS100/SDS200 New Public Release Sub CPU 1.03.05

[JoeBearcat]

I noticed the Type II Beta Files are now both removed from the SDS100 and 200 TWiki. Any reason as to why?

Not needed, as they are incorporated in the regular firmware release.

My findings revealed to me only receiving P-25 2 really clear. Other bands weak and static. Seem to be an 800 MHz scanner for the most part now.

I tried reverting back to 1.21 on my SDS200 and my reception on UHF and VHF is still really bad. Not sure if this is solely a software issue or a hardware issue as I just got it repaired not too long ago. Not sure If an SD card format would make any difference.

FWIW, I monitor dozens of UHF and a few VHF frequencies that are both near and not so near. I haven't noticed any difference in reception between firmware versions. The ones that come in good still do, and the ones that are weak still come in weak.

It seems that what filter setting to use may change between firmware versions. If you do not have a lot of other adjacent channels with RF carriers you may not notice this I.E. you have previously not needed to change any filter settings or use IFX at your location.

I did all the updates, including the waterfall. My SDS200 is working just as well now as before, I also notice that before updates my volume was always set on 10, I now lowered is to 8.

I changed the modulation to FM rather than default and that seems to have helped my issue with garbled transmissions a bit. It's still there but not as bad as it was.
