; mok, firmware for micro KEYER 2R (MK2R/MK2R+), change log ; by Martin Bujdak, microHAM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- v5.7, released 100616 - FT-5000 added to list - bug fixed: Bug in protocol table searching could cause internal CAT decoder to be functionless. v5.6, released 100211 - bug fixed: Too strong audio lock condition caused that under some circumstances (coupling with SM or using of KEY IN on ACC) RX state audio settings was permanently overrided by B settings. v5.5, released 100202 - UltraBeam 180/bidir support added v5.4, released 100125 - Ultra Beam support on ACC serial ports - changes in CAT decoder in accordance with changes in router - some other bug fixes and improvements in CAT decoder - semi-automatic focus control - bug fixed: ACC pin5 stayed in logical one after serial port 1 function had been changed from some function to "none". - PA and LNA tails - improved anticlick switching for headphones - SteppIR DB18, DB36, DB36+80mDipole added to the list. v5.3, released 091222 - bug fixed: Audio lock was badly implemented. Now audio from the sound card is redirected to rear radio input and mic is cut under lock condition. - Icom IC-7600 and IC-475 support. - SteppIR SDA 100 Controller support - bug fixed: Stereo signal was incorrectly reported to router in TX state. v5.2, released 081212 - bug fixed: Hysteresis in SteppIR frequency control was incorrectly implemented. - bug fixed: Radio channel extended settings concerning CAT decoding was initialized incompletely when computer sent radio channel settings in old short version format. It couldn't caused problems when used with actual router. v5.1, released 081118 - Small internal change in CAT decoder. v5.0, released 081114 - Internal CAT decoder. Now decoding works in standalone mode too. - Now CW in VOICE doesn't generate PTT1/PTT2 at all. It is possible to switch between "Semi Break-In" and "QSK" using "Force QSK" keyboard function. - Band lock between radios is generated more strictly. It takes into account also subreceiver frequency if available. - Now PTT is not locked when TX frequency is out of SteppIR range. - Keyer locks PTT when SM reports "Out of bands". - Support for older versions of SteppIR controller. v4.3, released 080811 - bug fixed: If "Steer WinKey CW/PTT" on MK2R was unchecked and TX focus auto control should follow "Two PTTs" then TX focus was forced according to WinKey PinConfig even if WinKEy PTT was inactive. It overrided all other PTT sources used to determine TX focus. Now Tx focus is not updated until WinKey PTT is active. v4.2, released 080723 - Changes in iLINK protocol (requires SM v1.3) - Station Master KEY IN lock is indicated on BUSY LED. v4.1, released 080702 - Keyer locks PTT1/2 and CW when SM reports "no TX antenna". v4.0, released 080624 - Now it is possible to couple the keyer with two Station Masters via iLINK connection (one Station Master per one radio). It allows to merge their PTT sequencers and transfer decoded CAT frequency from keyer to both Station Masters. - Optionally paddle can generate CW in VOICE mode too. In this case the PTT pattern for CW mode is used. - CW Input to specified radio R1/R2 added to the ACC pin function list. - Now mode "Reverse WinKey focus" applies to Steered CW Input too. - bug fixed: Simulated CI-V protocol on ACC serial port could report an incorrect mode under some circumstances. v3.4, released 080305 - bug fixed: PTT1/2 settings, audio switching settings was updated on keyer mode change but was not updated when there was changed from router. - Now PTT is automatically generated when FSK message is played even if no F10 or foot switch was pressed. - In QSK mode the signal INHIBIT is generated for the duration defined by Keying Compensation parameter instead of PTT Lead. During this time the CW output is locked. Parameter "Keying Compensation" is sended to WinKey only in QSK mode. - Additional CW lock is activated after tx focus change. It stays active for a time while WinKey CW output is active. This allows to change focus without generating the undesired CW singnal on just focused radio. - Now WinKey command 0x0A (Clear Buffer) drops Simulated command 0x18 PTT too. - Added limited support to WinKey buffered commands 0x1D 0x00 and 0x1D 0x01 (Buffered Port Control) introduced since WK2 v21. It means that keyer will change focus in the right time but after focus change it will send, as always, the command 0x0a (Clear Buffer). v3.3, released 080211 - bug fixed: Now "Steer serial CW/PTT" works correctly. Serial CW and PTT are redirected to focused radio only if this feature is selected. - New parameter "Steer WinKey CW/PTT" added. WinKey CW and PTT are redirected to focused radio only if this feature is selected or WinKey is not under logger control (= WinKey port in router is closed). - WinKey command 0x18 (PTT On/Off) is filtered out. Instead of sending it to the WinKey the PTT is generated by firmware. This ensures hot switch protection. Paddle drops such simulated PTT in all modes. v3.2, released 080127 - SteppIR control and CI-V simulation added to the list of ACC serial ports functions. - minor bug fixed: Potential deadlock in situation when PS2 CLK is faulty shortened to ground was eliminated. v3.1, released 071211 - added possibility to generate "RX band data output" on ACC v3.0, released 071122 - Some changes in keyer protocol and settings format was introduced to be compatible with router v5.1.0. Hence firmware MUST be upgraded and power-up settings MUST be again stored to EEPROM of keyer. - Firmware utilizes extended frequency/mode information from router CAT decoder: - Keyer mode follows TX mode of focused radio. - Band lock is active when TX band of focused radio equals to RX band of the second radio. - bug fixed: Winkey lead time was derived from settings of TX foxused radio instead of settings of WinKey focused radio. It can differ when "Reverse WinKey Focus" mode is selected. - BackSpace on PS2 keyboard now functions as ESC. v2.2, released 071017 - serious bug fixed: Under some circumstances a data sended from computer to keyer could be lost. It caused various undesirable keyer behavior (incorrect PTT configuration, incorrect WK commands, lost data for WK, ...) - bug fixed: PS2 keyboard/pad sporadically freeze in state in which it didn't respond to key strokes. - CW output is allowed only in CW mode. - PTT from paddle is generated only in CW mode. WinKey command "PTT On/Off" still can be used to generate PTT in non CW modes. v2.1, released 070912 v2.0, released 070905 (testing) - Implemented WinKey command parser to get WinKey setting under full control. - PTT selection (PTT1/PTT2/noPTT) was unified for all PTT sources (foot switch, serial PTT, WinKey) - PTT delay of each radio was coupled with WinKey PTT Lead. According to TX focus WinKey PTT Lead is adjusted. - Added new configurable key functions (switch mode, temporarily disable PA/LNA PTT, swap paddle, force QSK mode) that can be assigned to num pad key combinations ('*' and number 0-9) - Function (scenarios): - States "TX on R1/R2" was splited to "Computer TX on R1/R2" (Latch) and "Manual TX on R1/R2" (Monitor). Manual TX states have replaced refused "Headphone side tone". - Added "Reverse Latch" a "Reverse Monitor" modes. - Lowered STEREO signal priority (During TX the STEREO signal is ignored). - Added new functions on ACC I/O pins: PA PTT, LNA PTT, CW Input (Hand Key), "Focusd Band Data Output". - Band lock can be disabled (inband SO2R) - Band data on ACC are locked during TX. - bug fixed: When validity of band data timeouted keyer changed band data output to incorrect value. Now outputs stay unchanged. - bug fixed: WPM control from PS2 keyboard/numpad didn't work in standalone mode. v1.7, released 070615 - bug fixed: External inhibit inputs no longer lock PA PTT and LNA PTT. v1.6, released 070115 - Added possibility to steer FSK (both FSK channels are redirected according to TX focus and audio input is redirected according to RX focus). - Extended router-firmware protocol: - Possibility to start/abort playback/recording of CW/FSK messages - Forced switching of keyboard mode in manual mode - Audio output is no longer restricted to focused radio when audio codec is selected for at least one radio and SO2R mode is disabled. - bug fixed: Removed glitch that occurred on all ACC pins at power up. - Added another output lock that applies at startup. This prevents keying before first band data are obtained. - NUM LED on PS2 keyboard is used in voice mode too. v1.5, released 061211 - bug fixed: For the case when "Latch headphone switching" was disabled RX focus was incorrectly stated. v1.4, released 061116 - bug fixed: Band Decoder compatibility - Added possibility to disable generation of footswitch signal (FS) on LPT. - Small change to support "so2r protocol" of router v4.0.7. v1.3, released 061031 - Changed format of how modes (MIX,A,B,C) are stored to scenarios. v1.2, released 061019 - Control of headphone and ACC outputs has been extended to fully support "so2r protocol" of router v4.0.4. - Function key holding time needed to write current state has been prolonged to 1 second. v1.1, released 060925 - Keyer is initialized to state saved at power off instead of default state. - Added headphone side tone possibility. - bug fixed: Corrected actualization of band data info when band data input from ACC is switched off. - Added activity signalization of scenarios(functions) 5 to 8 by flashing LEDs. v1.0, released 060912 - First release for MK2R/MK2R+.
