Hi Guys,
I upgraded both the firmware on the ts590 to 1.08 and the arcp590 software
to version 1.03. The updates went whithout a hitch, but I really didn't see
any major improvements.
According to the application notes, these updates change the way the split
mode interacts with the arcp590 software. Since I don't do that, I probably
won't see any change..

Steve,
I don't recall ever seeing a firmware update that broke something, although
it certainly is possible. I may grab this one on the off chance that it
reflects other changes for the better. Truthfully, I'm not even sure I
fully understand what this new "feature" is supposed to accomplish. Any
idea?
Steve
