Hi Steve,

The 1.04 update reduces the minimum monitor and beep levels.  It also seems 
to improve receiver performance, though that is not mentioned in the feature 
list.  If your not up to 1.04, I would highly recommend it.  I haven't 
installed the latest 1.05 update because I think it addresses only one bug 
that doesn't bother me and it came out less than one month after 1.04.

Bob,

I haven't upgraded my radio, and I don't even know what version of the
firmware I have.  What functions were improved?

Steve
