Please read the pre-release post [HERE] for the new programmable key action defaults.
Since I had to insert two keys into the action tables, it will have shuffled existing long-press settings around, even when loading in your saved CSV files, sorry about that. You'll need to spend a little time putting your long-press settings right, or just stick to the defaults.
Added long-press key action "DTMF Speed Dial". When set as a long-press action and activated; begins transmit and sends the matching DTMF Preset.
Example: Long-Press Key-5 will send DTMF Preset 5.Added the two side buttons below PTT-A as programmable key action buttons. These buttons may also be programmed for short-press actions.
Note: The middle key is exclusively PTT-B when in Dual PTT mode, and will not operate as a programmable key."Toggle Channel Bank" (Previously hard coded as a short-press of the bottom side button) and "Squelch Override" (Previously hard coded as long-press of the bottom side button) are now configurable actions you can assign to any key. "Squelch Override" now defaults to a short-press of the middle side button.

Well spotted, I bet I forgot to change the file size check, it's probably set to the 4MB version of the 890. I'll sort it.

2025-07-02 22:08:17 +0000 UTCI think there may be a bug in the SPI programmer. If I go to the Backup tab and save an SPI backup, it writes 2 MB (2097154 B) to disk. However if I then go to load SPI backup, and select that same file, it reports "Incorrect size for SPI backup file.".

2025-07-02 21:20:39 +0000 UTCYes it does have repeater tone capabilities. PTT-ID always precedes any DTMF sequence, that's already a thing. I can't really help with "hit and miss" though, I need things to be tangible to address them. Even if it seems random it won't be, there will be some underlying pattern.
