Sorry for all of the hassle, I just realized that Norton was blocking the download for some reason, working now. Thank all of you for attempting to help the hopeless,

Is Dream Big Software legit?

Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk.

I have the new PPS installed and the 1.3 fw. Other then Windows 10 wanting to keep me from doing stuff that Microsoft thinks I should not be doing everything works fine as far as I can tell. Sure like the TG hold.

There are no issues with the site links. I have checked with multiple browsers. Anyone with V1.1 or V1.2 can download the latest V1.3 release. If you are part of the beta group for the scanning V1.4 software don not flash backwards to V1.3.

Here is a screenshot, it shows its going back to the website, not a download.

Download the PPS and back up your pager before you upgrade !!!

I noticed that earlier. Hit More Info and then Run Anyway.

Enjoy everyone! Remember in PPS to enable TG Hold as stated above. The firmware works great. A great radio is even better. Block is also a very convenient feature to temporarily block a TG.

You should be fine. See VirusTotal

Ignore the detection from Rising. It seems to be a false-positive. I looked over what files, registry, services, etc everything is modifying and nothing out of the ordinary.

If only fire would use another TG for daily morning testing so you can permanently block it out

Seen on release notes,
“Added DES and ADP encryption “
Guess there will be a updated encryption utility ?

Be advised that some web browsers (Chrome, Microsoft Edge) will block the firmware download as "dangerous".

I believe so. There was "Key programming software V01-00-00_Beta09" that accompanied PPS V00-03-16_Beta09. Presumably there's a final version of that, but I suspect you need to get it from/through your dealer.

Great update. Love the hold/block and stacked tones work like a charm.

 

[Ed6698]

I am noticing also with the amplified charger is that when holding on a TG the sound of speaker amp opening and closing is gone as it holds the speaker open during the TG hold.

While scanning a trunked system when a talkgroup becomes active the word hold will be above the blue button on the bottom left of the pager push this button to hold push again to stop the hold. It only appears when the talkgroup is active!
