[Elecraft] MCU 4.60 / DSP 2.80, 11/17/2012

Recently changed to WIN8 and downloaded the latest firmware. Wanted to 
use the spot function, does not work. Firmware mod description says 
"/Use the TEXT DEC switch and VFO A to set CW decode threshold. We 
recommend using THR 2 or 3 for most signals, and THR 1 for very weak 
signals. These fixed settings usually work better than AUTO."  Actually 
it reduces the sensitivity needed to turn up the AF gain, does not help. 
The signal signal does not show up on LCD,  THR1 can not be set 2  is 
the lowest. TEXT DECODE does not work either. Did I miss something or 
simply better to go back to an older firmware. Should  some of you 
///have/ an older firmware with good spot and  text///decoding function 
please send it to me. The current one is useless.
