Hi Tim, I didn't mean to tweak you or the group. I've been reading these postings for probably a year now and I've seen probably dozens of your behests that comments be placed in the appropriate group. Sorry, I screwed it up on my first try. The thing is, it didn't cross my mind that I was operating beta software. I got a new radio, it has software and I commented. Cogito Ergo Zum. No synapses in my brain made the connection to beta software. I'll do better next time :-)
I also read the release notes and I didn't make the connection about the firmware. Take away my Cogito Ergo Zum, I guess. My intention in writing the note was to point out a situation which probably wasn't common so that it might float around in the consciousness of those higher beings who produce this stuff. I'll look forward to the details regarding the firmware update. I'd like to leave it here with a final thought that I really think my 1500 is a cool radio, beta software or no. Keep on cranking out the code and I'll keep loading it.
