Pro+ Firmware and Documentation.

 

Look Here for the Old, Original FCDPro Firmware instructions.

 

Firmware:- Read here The Pro+ has had v 20.03 since November 2012. Sometimes the FCD might get stuck in Bootloader mode, the FCD Pro+ sends "Bootloader" in morse at maybe 18 WPM. You hear that when connected to a SDR program.
If you have not done anything then just unplugging and re-inserting sets it back to normal.
If that does not correct it then you must try loading the firmware. It will not return to normal mode if the firmware is wrong or
corrupted. This page has the description and files.

 

On the Pro+ Firmware and Documentation. page is FCHid2.002. If you see it as below then it should work properly.

This shows the firmware version and offers frequency control and gain settings. Useful for soundcard SDR programs/decoders that do not support FCD control.

"Bias T" puts 5 volts on the antenna socket for a preamp or other purpose. DO NOT TICK THIS UNLESS YOU NEED TO USE IT!

Type in the frequency in KHZ and press "Enter" (return).

Setting "IF Gain" to about 7 helps smooth the spectrum and hide the low level spurii.

"LNA" and "Mixer" gains are very dependent on frequency and antenna in use.
