MCU 3.06/DSP 2.12  April 1, 2009

* SSB POWER CONTROL: Decreased time that SSB power output takes to 
reach target when PWR control adjusted. Also eliminated drive level 
change when ATU TUNE is used.

* SQUELCH IN ALL MODES: To use this feature, locate CONFIG:SQ MAIN, 
then tap '1' until you see "ALL".

To use the SUB RF/SQL pot to control both main and sub squelch, set 
CONFIG:SQ MAIN to =SUB POT. (In this case, MAIN RF will control both 
main and sub RF GAIN.)

If you want independent control of main and sub squelch, set SQ MAIN 
and SQ SUB to numeric values (0 opens the squelch all the way). SQ MAIN 
and SQ SUB will then be fully independent. They can be assigned to 
programmable function switches if you use them frequently. (In this 
case MAIN RF GAIN and SUB RF GAIN are independent, using the lower 
concentric pots.)
