[AMPS] Alpha 87A firmware upgrade

[Jamie Jones]

I have some pictures of a nice fire caused by constant tuning into a
variable load . ( tunetime 40sec)

In this case the load was a bad piece of cable and connector and changed
with the amount of carbon produced.
The fire was under a cabin and lucky for all of us it "only burned a hole
into an old treestump.
