Firmware and CPS 3.05: satellite-mode power and menu improvements, a Master ID setting, save GPS position as fixed beacon, and an 'ANA SQL' side-key function. The 3.06 change log records that APRS TX did not work in 3.05.
Read before installing. Not hosted: every AnyTone/BridgeCom package includes the 'D878UVscreens' background-image set by Tim Rauhut, DL2DMC, whose readme says it 'must not be re-distributed without written permission of the author', and vendor files are never modified.
