Known Issues With the MCS2000 Tuner R02.02.00 Release: --------------------------------------------------- 1) Tuner does not check the serial number of the radio in Tx Power 3 screen, so do not change radios while using this screen. 2) Tuner performance varies with processor speed and RAM. 3) When any slider control is selected, the up cursor key will decrement the current value (move the slider to the left) and the down cursor key will increment the current value (move the slider to the right). To avoid this problem, use the mouse, the left/right cursor keys, or click on the value spin box instead. 4) The Program button will fail to store the value if the radio contains a non-standard serial number. ===============================================
