After a discussion with Colin G4EML, we've decided to call this latest version a Beta release
downloads/MD9600/Firmware/07cb014f0ec72 ... 607d79dddc
No major changes from the last Alpha, except that Japanese versions are now available.
Note.
We are not close to have a full "Release" because at the moment, the current consumption when the radio is turned off, is still 100mA, which is far to high.
Colin did some tests and the official firmware consumes approximately 50mA when the radio is turned off.
However, I think this is much higher than is necessary, and I'm hoping to be able to get the "Off" current lower than the offical firmware. If possibly I want to get it to go much lower, but at the moment I don't know if thats practical.
Reducing the current when the radio is Off is not a trivial change to the firmware source code, so will NOT be available soon
MD9600 Beta version is now available - including in Japanese
