- Added transmit frequency shift function:
- The shift frequency (+/-) is set in the "37 SHIFT TX" item of the main menu
- The function is activated via the “ShTX” item in the quick access menu
- When the function is active, a shift indicator “>” or “<” is displayed on the screen
- ASQ algorithm adjusted – reduced dependency on filter bandwidth
- Expanded set of CAT protocol commands implemented (Lab599 protocol)
- System optimization — reduced boot time
