If for some reason your V1.10 unit does not have selectable wide/narrow, upgrade to V1.10q.Īll firmware upgrades are found on at and then click on the Files tab. V1.00n enables “Wide FM” operation without a selector or configuration mode.Īll versions of V1.10 appear to have selectable wide/narrow deviation in the control panel despite the release notes stating that V1.10q is necessary. For firmware V1.00a or V1.00f, upgrade to V1.00n. To accomplish any of these modifications, the DR-1X must be running a version of the firmware that enables or allows for “Wide-FM Deviation” mode of operation. 1.201) and, more importantly, lists a panel and DSP version in a line between the transmit and receive frequencies is a DR-1XFR and is not capable of modification for digital use.
