First a Happy New Year to everyone. Next, since I can never leave anything alone for long, and as I had some time on my hands over the holiday, I was revising the alarm sub-system code and I noticed that it was possible, under certain circumstances, to disable the High SWR alarm. This was never my intention, only the over-current, over-voltage, and under-voltage alarms were intended to be selectively masked. This anomaly has now been fixed in build 12. In addition, the alarm test feature of the serial port test suite has been slightly enhanced to take account of the alarm mask setting so that it gives a complete indication not only that the alarms are working but that they can be enabled or disabled.
Since these minor changes are hardly "new" features there are no changes to the EEPROM and thus your existing calibration and user settings should be retained, but, as always, it would be prudent to use the serial test suite and dump your present configuration prior to loading this revision.
Finally, as before, this is NOT an official version, merely my modifications to this little gem. It can be loaded using the Ingenia loader, but PLEASE read the notes on the website regarding replacing the .xml file. As before, this latest version can be obtained from me or, hopefully it will be posted to this forum's site in due course.
Some new features are in the pipeline including the ability to remotely display the status of the PA100D when connected to a TRX2 as well as some remote control of the linear this way. When operating portable I tend to have the PA100D located remote from my operating position, and thus this remote status and control feature was born. More to follow...
