FWIW: I installed V2.059d recently. I noticed the same effects that many
have already mentioned:
- Audio output (to headphones) is much lower than with earlier releases. In
some cases I might have both the audio and RF at maximum for weak CW.
- Mic control and AUX input control needed to be raised considerably over
the previous release. They seem to work OK, just need a different setting.
- The Noise Reduction function works MUCH BETTER for SSB. (I never use it
for CW.)
- Voice output (via the monitor function) sounds raspy, especially at
speech processor settings higher than 2. I do not know if this raspyness is
actually transmitted.
- The speech processor produces more punch (but maybe introduces the raspy
sound).
- There seems to be some "key click" type sounds added to strong CW
signals.
- I think general background noise is a little lower (or, at least, the
audio rendition of background noise is lower). Conditions have not been
great and I cannot tell if this is a general attribute of this release. It
does seem to make listening to 40/80 less tiring.
- I usually work with reduced RF gains and AGC tweaking does not seem to
make much difference.
No master reset was needed.
If you are still thinking about installing this release, do it!
