MEDIUM: Equipment in stock should be updated at installation/commissioning.
Equipment already commissioned and in operation should be
updated as part of a normal service or maintenance call.
Service calls on symptoms comprising difficulties to tune at low
frequencies accompanied by the appearance of e.g. error code 4610
may be successfully concluded by implementing this revised
software version in the equipment, on the condition that the
installation and grounding of the equipment has been verified to be
in good order.
Identification:
This revised software version 1.35.27 is released as a set comprising both the
CU and TU software for the MF/HF 5000 150W (incl. FCC and class E), 250W &
500W equipment.
This software release supersedes the previously released version 1.35.24 and
introduces expanded tuning capability required in some installations, especially
where limited space for the aerial installations is available, which in turn may
cause difficulties for the equipment to tune in certain frequency bands.
The background for the introduction of this change is an observed increase over
the past 3-6 months in reporting from the field of difficulties in new installations
for the equipment to tune properly, especially in the lower frequency bands. In
some cases it has been found that changing the length of the coaxial cable
between TU and ATU would shift the affected frequency band to e.g. a higher
band.
