    1. Apologies, but I got an early pre-release version, so I was asked not to distribute it. I'm sure the official one will be available soon.

  2. I wish there was a way to get the MONI function on both 'Long' and 'Slight'..
    It's really bad that when you need to hear a weak signal, you have to wait for a 'Long' time to open up the Squelch - it is just a poor design (and yes I know other brands make the same mistake too).
