The prerelease firmware is in an encrypted zip file along with this README file. In order to open the zip file, you need to read this notice.

1) This is prerelease firmware. We are aware of a few things not quite working well, yet. That said, it does represent the final "shape" if not the final quality of what will be released.

2) There is no Sentinel support for this prerelease firmware. All DMR items will need to be programmed by hand.

3) Instructions are still being written, but that which is available is at http://info.uniden.com/UnidenMan4/DigitalMobileRadioUpgrade. 

4) Please do not report directly to Uniden things that you find that are not working. Of course, you will be discussing this in the forums, but we'd ask that you qualify negative reports by making it clear that you are using prerelease firmware. At this time, we have plenty of testers working on helping us finish the final code. If we do need help, UPMan will post the specific need and how to submit.

5) You must have a DMR Key in order to enable the DMR features.

To re-iterate, this is not an official release. There is no Sentinel support. There is no RRDB support.

To apply the update, first unzip BCDx36HP_V1_11_09.zip and use the password (which is the first letter of every other word of every 3rd paragraph; just kidding, the password is "Un1d3nR0ck5!", not including the double quotes). Then, copy the appropriate "bin" file to the "firmware" directory that already exists on your scanner. Finally, cycle power.

Changes from the previous pre-release are:


-- Modified Items --

1. Modified display of Color Code
2. Modified display of Conventional Discovery to match Quick Search
3. Modified DMR Scanning delay time
4. Modified Squelch Backlight in DMR mode
5. Modified tracking the rest channel on hold time in CAP Plus
6. Improved detection of the rest channel in CAP Plus


-- Notes --

1. Setting correct frequencies is important in LCN Finder mode.
For Connect Plus, please confirm Network ID, Site ID, TGID, and voice on voice frequency in Conventional mode.
2. Also setting the correct Color Code or Search is important in LCN Finder mode.
3. If the scanner could not receive a DMR site signal, please try FM modulation and Manual Digital Threshold.

Also, we believe that item 5, above might improve the RAS issues we've seen reported.
