Nakonec se podařilo a borci z Kenwoodu vyprodukovali nový SW a FW pro TM-D710, který primárně řeší fatální problémy s APRS a přidal i pár dalších inovací. Sice to trvalo, ale hlavně že to dopadlo.
Aktualizovány jsou prakticky všechny varianty SW a FW, tj.:
- TNC update verze 1.02 stahujte ZDE!
- Operation Panel verze 2.10 stahujte ZDE!
- Firmware update verze 2.10 stahujte ZDE!
- Obslužný SW MCP-2A verze 3.20 stahujte ZDE!
Tak zálohujte, stahujte a aktualizujte!
