You don't even need to change the firmware. Just try a new program.

Folks who want to do comparative antenna tests should try WSPR by K1JT. It's
a beacon software that also measures the SNR of other beacons received and
reports them to a website (wsprnet.org.) Use it for a couple of hours and
then go to the website and you'll have a bunch of reception reports from
stations all over the world, with 1dB resolution, to compare with other
antennas or the reports given to other stations in your locality. Much more
useful than asking a QSO partner for an S meter reading if you ask me.
