Software updates?

Not to nag or anything, but I recall there were some neat features in the works for an upcoming release. Is there any news to share? We're closing in on the one-year anniversary of the current firmware release. :)

...one year in which the code has been remarkably stable and error free. Kudos in the extreme for such a well designed and capable product.

Now, new features would be nice, of course... :-)

It has been remarkably solid, so credit where credit is due, but I know there are a few lingering issues, some of them display-related. Quite a few fixes and minor improvements have been talked up for the "next release". :)

Solid, yes. How about the editor bug? When entering multiple opcode instructions and hitting <- then a couple lines are removed. That's a serious bug.

First tone of the beep is too short, was introduced with the last update.
Not everybody can hear it but I am an ex telegraphist and I can.
I can live with it and I am generally very pleased with the calc but if an update is planned please take this one also into account.

Hello EM41,
Make a digital sound recording of the beep. Then load the audio file into an audio editor, i.e. the "Audacity" editor. Then tell us, how large the error is.

PS: There are fine videos of Scheveningen Radio, PCH on YouTube!

I already did some months ago viewtopic.php?f=26&t=2892
Scheveningen is no more unfortunately.
PA3DES here and in 1985/86 I manned PCW50, the army station for contact with the Sinai missions so I'm not a sailor.
Anyway I hate dissonances and wrong timing haha.

Yes, you are right. That looks like a damage in the software.
Have you tried reinstalling the firmware?

PS: Which one of your DM41X has the beep error?
