RLC-3 Version 1.76

The following things have changed since V1.74:

Increased beacon table size from 10 to 50 slots.  Changed command 048
(start beacon with ascii words) so you have to specify which slot to
start with rather than defaulting to 01 so can use it to start different
beaconing sequences.

Fixed HF problem that caused the auto-mode switching to take effect
every time changed frequency (including bumping).  Changed so the auto
mode set only works when you change from a region that normally uses one
mode to a region that normally uses another one (at 10MHz and 29MHz).

Fixed problem which caused hf routines to change offset to 0 whenever
changed frequency (including bumping).  Now sets the offset to the
default for that band, which should be what is was the last time it was
used on that band (turning the offset off should not clear it).

When turn serial queueing off with command 060, now flush the queue
(output everything in it) before going on.

Changed long distance dialing table checking.  Now allow three digit
numbers that are not autodials and all four digit numbers unless they
are blocked in the nuisance table (which they are by default in slots 0
and 1).  Allows for dialing pbx extensions. Allow table now defaults to
allowing all 7 digit numbers.

Added reverse patch answer event for Club and RLC-3 (RLC-5 already had
it, RLC-4 is out of slots).  Default audio routing is to the reverse
patch only.

The V1.75 manual should be used with software version V1.76.

README.TXT           This file.

EPROMS.ZIP           The files needed to burn this software version.
                     The card rom data (included) is identical to V1.45.
                     The voice eprom data (included) is identical to V1.41.

EPROMS.ZIP should contain the following files:

  RLC3CARD.BIN should be loaded with offset of 0 as a binary file and
  burned into a 27C512 EPROM for each of the cards.  It is the same as
  version 1.45.  Checksum = B249.

  PROM1.BIN and PROM2.BIN should be loaded as binary files with no
  offset and burned into 27C010 or 27C001 eproms for the motherboard.
  PROM1 Checksum = E44B.  PROM2 Checksum = EB29.

  Socket #3 should be empty.

  RLC3_VCE.141 should be loaded as a binary file with no offset and
  burned into a 27C010 or 27C001 eprom.  It is only about 77K, so don't
  be concerned that the file size is different than PROM1 and PROM2.  It
  goes in socket 4 on the motherboard.  It is the same as V1.41.
  Checksum = 5DAC.
