The Sub Rx was not changed. * Added selection of S-Meter input to Other Menu. Selection is AGC Level or RF Signal. Default is AGC Level. Selection is retained over power cycles. * S-meter reading is compensated for ATTN setting, Preamp setting, signal reduction caused by the analog hardware AGC with strong (> S-9+35) signals, and the RF Gain control. * S-meter is calibrated so S-9 is 50 uV across 50 Ohms at the antenna terminals. * S-meter calibration routine updated to correct for a missing step in the table. * S-meter ballistics follow the Hang Time and Decay Rate of currently selected AGC profile. * Serial Commands to change either VFO frequency were restored to previous functionality by removing the band checking. Note that a serial command setting the Main Rx VFO outside of a ham band may cause the VFO knob to not change frequency. Note: Be sure to do a Master Reset, a RAM Clear, a second Master Reset, and finally, a power cycle. This insures that anything left in memory from a previous release will be erased.
