> Hi all,
> 
> I'm leaving Saturday for a long-planned 10-day vacation. I thought we'd 
> be doing another firmware update before I left. Instead, we'll give our 
> intrepid field testers more time with this new code, then release it 
> when I get back.
> 
> Here's a sneak preview. All of these features have been fully 
> implemented:
> 
>  - transmit RF delay for slow amplifier relays
>  - FM mode, complete with per-band/per-memory PL tones and repeater 
> splits
>  - wider-bandwidth AM and SSB receive
>  - further improvements to SSB transmit, including a boost in 
> low-frequency response
>  - "absolute" S-meter alternative (reading stays the same with 
> preamp/attn changes)
>  - a variation on LIN OUT that allows recording of both RX and TX audio
>  - MIC+LINE IN operation for SSB contesters
>  - reflected-power-based KPA3 amplifier protection
> 
> Many of these have been on the short list for a long time, so we're 
> anxious to get this major release into your hands. Full details will be 
> provided in the release notes.
