W2 Firmware release to Rev 0.90

Brian Broggie-2
*New W2 Firmware Information*

*Rev 0.90, 18-Nov-2009*

 

  * EXTERMINATOR RELEASE:

1.     Mode of PK-HOLD LED was not being saved to EEPROM if set via
front panel push buttons.  It was saved if it was set via the Serial
"P/p" command.  Either way, it's now fixed.

2.     Power-up from loss of +12 acted differently from power-off via
"On/Off" button.  Now the W2 will always power-up with the full LED and
Alarm relay test.

3.     SWR LED Bargraph unusually sensitive.  In SO2R stations with two
W2's, the idle W2's SWR Bargraph could have indicated a high SWR
condition due to detection of only reverse power sent back down the
Sensor from the 2nd xmitter.  SWR display threshold based on Forward
Power was raised to correct this.

4.     Serial port would not respond to first command after power-up.  
Now fixed.

5.     A serial "F/f" or "R/r" command sent immediately after power-up
but before feeding any RF through a Sensor would make the W2 appear to
reset itself.  Also fixed.
