RLC-2 V4.05 Beta

Please note that this is beta software - it probably has bugs !!!!
Use it at your own risk!!!!

Changes since V4.03

VERSION 4.05 BETA CHANGES

1) ADDED SERIAL MACRO RESPONSE ON COMMAND 167.
   - WHEN THE RS-232 PORT RECALLS A MACRO POSITION USING COMMAND 167, THE CONTROLLER
     WILL RECALL THE MACRO CONTENTS IN AN ASCII FORMAT SUITABLE FOR DIRECT
     RE-UPLOAD.

2) ADDED A MULTIPLE MACRO RECALL SERIAL RESPONSE.  THIS COMMAND IS 164
	FORMAT: 164 XX YY * OR <ENTER>
		WHERE XX IS THE BEGINNIGN MACRO NUMBER
		WHERE YY IS THE ENDING MACRO NUMBER
   - THIS COMMAND CAN ONLY BE EXECUTED FROM THE SERIAL PORT

   - WHEN THE RS-232 PORT RECALLS A MACRO POSITION USING COMMAND 164, THE CONTROLLER
     WILL RECALL THE MACRO CONTENTS IN AN ASCII FORMAT SUITABLE FOR DIRECT
     RE-UPLOAD.

3) REMOVED THE RESET OF MY DEBUGGING INFORMATION IN THE IDING ROUTINES

4) REMOVED THE RESET OF MY DEBUGGING INFORMATION IN THE SMALL DVR ROUTINES

5) ADDED LARGE DVR ROUTINES

6) ADDED 7 DIGIT AUTOPATCH ALLOW.  OUT OF INITIALIZATION THE AUTOPATCH WILL
   ONLY ALLOW 3 DIGIT AUTODIALS, 911 AND 7 DIGIT DIALING.  7 DIGIT DIALING
   BYPASSES THE ALLOW TABLES CHECKING BUT IS CHECKED BY THE NUSIANCE DIALING
   TABLE.

7) FIXED AN ERROR THAT OCCURRED WHEN EXECUTING MORE THAN 10 COMMANDS IN
   A MACRO SEQUENCE

8) FIXED AN ERROR THAT CAUSED THE COURTESY BEEP EVENT TO BE SENT WHEN EITHER
   THE COR OR PL CHANGED STATE, BUT DID NOT KEY THE RECEIVER.


Other Notes:

There is a known bug that can cause transmitters to lock on the air.
The transmitter lockup can be resolved by resetting the controller
(remotely is one way), but that does not completely clear the problem.
This requires reinitializing the controller or uploading a serial
file that was downloaded with command 222 before the lockup occured.
This bug seems to have something to do with using the autopatch.  It
happens very rarely, in fact no one outside of our shop has reported
seeing it.

Command 148 is the autopatch last number redial.

This directory should contain the following files:

readme             this file
eproms.zip         the files needed to burn your own V4.00 eproms
                   for the RLC-2 and RLC-2a.

          The manual has not been updated since V4.00,
          so it is not copied here.

Notes:

  To install the update you need to unzip eproms.zip and burn two 27C512
  eproms, one with the voice data and one for the main program rom.
  After installing the new roms, power up the controller while holding
  down the initialization button on the circuit board.  This will set
  everything up for factory defaults.  You can then begin programming.

  eproms.zip contains:
    voice401.bin - Binary file for the voice rom
    rlc2a405.icm - RLC2a Binary file for main rom with Icom HF interface
    rlc2a405.kwd - RLC2a Binary file for main rom with Kenwood HF interface
    rlc2_405.icm - RLC2 Binary file for main rom with Icom HF interface
    rlc2_405.kwd - RLC2 Binary file for main rom with Kenwood HF interface

  PDF is Adobe's Portable Document Format.  For more information about
  it and the view/print programs that can be used with it, see the readme
  file in the showcase/linkcomm directory.
