This version includes several enhancements. Users can now choose to boost or cut the volume for a set of frequencies. It also adds a second Volume control, and a new Volume field in the Memory Channel .csv file which determines which of the two volume controls to use. Users now have the ability to change the text font and change the color of the graphic images. There is also faster receiver polling. While scanning memory, the active memory bank label widget is now colored green while the inactive labels are colored white.
