TX-500 Firmware Update

Somehow I missed this, but Lab599 just posted a new update for the Discovery TX-500.

This update posted on September 21st provides some fixes and “Improved receiver parameters”. Combined with the update earlier this month that added a SWR monitor and two new audio output modes, it shows their commitment to providing additional value regularly.

You can grab the updated firmware here.
