MCU 1.45 / 06/26/2016
 
* Adds: USB MSD (mass storage device, memory stick, thumb drive) support. 
Most types of flash drives are supported.  Added a new sub-menu called “MSD
menu” which includes the following features: 
            + Scrn shot – takes a .bmp screen shot of the current screen. 
            + ConfgSave – saves the current configuration.
            + ConfgRstr – restores the configuration.
            + XportMacr – exports macros/text messages.
            + ImprtMacr – imports macros.
 
Note: refer to the included BETA documentation PX3_MSD_Features.pdf  for
more information.
 
* Adds: Serial commands #MAA, #MBA to adjust A or B markers by an
incrementing or decrementing.  The adjustment value is the same as used by
the K3/KX3 UP and DN commands.  Usage: #MAAsn
                        s = + to increment, - to decrement
                        n = 0 adjust by 1 Hz
                        n = 1   “   “  10 Hz
                        n = 2   “   “  20 Hz
                        n = 3   “   “  50 Hz
                        n = 4   “   “  1 kHz
                        n = 5   “   “  2 kHz
                        n = 6   “   “  3 kHz 
                        n = 7   “   “  5 kHz  
                        n = 8   “   “  100 Hz
                        n = 9   “   “  200 Hz
Or:
            #MAAs
                        s = + to increment, - to decrement. The step size is
automatically determined                                  by the current
span and mode:    
                       

 
USB, LSB, AM & FM
Span < 5 kHz – step = 10 Hz
Span 2-9.99 kHz – step = 20 Hz
Span 10-49.9 kHz – step = 50 Hz
Span 50-99.1 kHz – step = 100 Hz
Span 100-200 kHz – step = 200 Hz
           
 
CW & Data
Span < 5 kHz – step = 2 Hz
Span 2-9.99 kHz – step = 20 Hz
Span 10-49.9 kHz – step = 50 Hz
Span 50-99.1 kHz – step = 100 Hz
Span 100-200 kHz – step = 200 Hz

 
                                   
 
* Adds: Frequency displays now show all digits including the Hz digit.  This
includes the center frequency adjustment and marker values.  Note that
markers adjust by values determined by the current span setting.
 
* Adds: To enter the text decode scratchpad, you can now use either Insert
or Alt-P.  To send the scratchpad, you can now use either Ctrl-Insert or
Ctrl-P .
 
 
* Adds: #MSS msd screen shot serial command.
