FW 2.20 vs 2.26 with V5

[W9KB]

I had an issue commuicating with my Alpha on com1, so I downloaded the latest 2.26 installed it
no joy... noticed it required a hardware update to V6.

So, I then downloaded 2.25, still no joy (wasn't sure if a hardware update was required, I believe I have V5).

Finally, I moved back to 2.20, which is were I started the process. Something happened along the way and the Alpha was happy with all versions, but HRD would not start until I was back to 2.20.

Hope this might help others.

I forgot to mention, that early in my initial setup process, my radio side device developed a glitch were it would not reboot without a power off cycle. This is not big problem, just looking for a possible cause and/or fix.

The new firmwares will never need hardware update.
There might be new functions which is depending on the new hardware like Dual channel audio for example, But the newest firmware can always be used in all versions of the hardware.

I think your need to back is just because we have changed the settings a little bit ( to make it more simple) so after installing new firmware you have to go thru the settings, there is no changes made in the functionallity it self

Mike, that's good to know. However, I am little confused... because Ham Radio Deluxe (HRD) did not connect on com0 with any version higher than 2.2. Those settings appeared the same in the higher versions.

Maybe there are other setting changes I overlooked, which ones would you suggest check?
