MCR41S-42S

• JNS compander (on request).

bug fix:

• Occasionally, while working in ENS, audio output level was low
• Minor bug fix

• Added ENS compander
• Added MTP60 compatibility (SYNC and 16 bit battery data)
• Fixed minor bug fix

• added support for new bands: Band 8 (B8: 940-960MHz) and Band P (BP:806-810MHz)
• modified SYNC process for compatibility with Narrow band Transmitters
• added Tone Squelch delay setting: configurable delay for the activation of the audio when the tone squelch is detected
• added new panel lock mode (“ENC *”) which, when activated, loads all parameter values to default, except for:
  • • Compander: ENC
    • Analog LINE level: + 12dBu

  In ENC lock mode * all panel parameters are locked except for:  Change group / channel / frequency, Audio levels settings

• added: MCR42-S3 Version Management *
• added: lock panel parameter in the preset
• added: displaying the last loaded preset to the preset pages
• fixed: wrong level battery indication on 688/Manager with SEN compander
• fixed: wrong LINE level after the change from analog to digital
• fixed: wrong Compander selection after the factory preset
• fixed: wrong display group/channel after the factory preset when one receiver is OFF
• fixed: wrong COM level after restoring
• fixed: wrong indication of Change Group/Channel after saving of presets
• fixed: deviation bar management issue when the calibration tone is activated

*NOTE: MCR42-S3 version is the latest hardware version of MCR42.

It increases the max analogue audio level to +18dBu for LINE and COM outputs (on the previous version the max level was +12dBu)

It allows the selection by software of the type of outputs on the Top Feed and Base. Based on the “Line Mode” choose, different output options are available:

– if LINE mode is set on Analog, you can choose between Line-A (Analog) and COM on both Top Feed and Base (socket)

– If LINE mode is set on AES3 (digital), you can choose between Line-D (digital) and COM on both Top Feed and Base (socket)

fixed: display of the audio bar level after calibration tone – even if the calibration tone is stopped, the audio bar level shows the output level of the previous calibration tone.

Steps to replicate the issue:

– Enter into the circular menu and go to the audio information.
– Start calibration tone on RX1
– Do nothing, just wait until the receiver jumps back to the status screen.
– When jumping back to the status screen the calibration tone stops which is correct but the audio bar in the status screen still shows for RX1 the output level of the calibration tone
This problem happens only with RX1, not happens with RX2.

fixed: problem to save the compander in the memory during loading of the preset.

new – management of Preset menu:
The first 3 preset can only be modified by PC (default name PRESET_x). The following two are editable by the receiver as well (default name USER_x)
Menu option for the Preset changed from “Restore” into “Load” and now it’s the first option available on the main menu.

new – ask for a factoory restore settings when recognized a different slot-in:
during the power on of the receiver, in case it recognizes an slot-in different from what was previously installed, the unit asks if you want to do a factory restore settings.

add: activation code  – (to enable/disable compander, SN depending)

fix: SYNC process – disabled SYNC process if the receiver is OFF

add – Q5X compander – enable in factory on request

fix – indication for S2 model during the starting of the receive:
S2 model means new receiver boards with new demodulator, hardware => 24, better SND/D ratio (AES3), less distortion

fix – disable audio level menu when RX turned off:
if a receiver is OFF, its “level audio” menu is disabled

fix – issue “Config ADVanced” settings with multicompanding option

fix – line level issue with hw 21 and 22 with fw v3.5: the menu “Audio Output> Line max level” allows to change the level on the range -18/+12dBu instead of -30/+12dBu

new – improved communication of MCR42 with SuperSlot SLK42-IKSS to SL6

fix – issue of battery data detection on MCR42 hw 23 with multicompanding option

new – add support of SuperSlot SLK42-IKSS

new – expander OVL: enabled only in factory

changed – audio bar: peak detect more slow

new – manager of headphones: add 2 parameters to adjust in separate way the volume of Left/Right channels and/or Rx1/Rx2 (available for stand alone socket BPA42HPN).

fix – expander issue: updating the firmware of some MCR42s to v3.1 with Wisycom Manager v0.5 (using MCR42 Updater v0.5.3.2) some expanders disappear! In some cases the issue is occured also using Wisycom Manager v0.6

add – all Wisycom expander: the firmware enables as default the following Wisycom expanders: ENR Wis, ENC Wis, ENR-1.2, ENC-1.2.

WARNING: The upgrade to v3.3 is possible only using Wisycom Manager v0.7

new – identification of BPA42BAG

changed – layout of menus: menu to change the receivers’ name (see pag 13)

new– circular quick menu to monitor&modify the main parameters

new – NAME + EXPANDER by CHANNEL: a preconfigured table relates the expander/name to a channel, new parameter «fast ch. Sel»

new – «Display timeout» OFF: the display never turn off automatically.

new – AUTO SQUELCH function on the circular quick menu

changed – preset names: in the past versions the preset names were fixed (1,2,3,Factory). The new version allows to write 12 characters for each preset using the new MCR4x Manager v1.0.0
