It took a couple of days longer than I had hoped, but it’s available to download at lazydogengineering.com/Downloads.html. Here is a summary of the improvements and new features:
- Now compatible with the latest version of HDSDR, for full and reliable control of transmitter functions
- External PTT switch wired to the accessory jack will control HDSDR T/R switching
- LO frequency can be saved to the LD-1B/B2/C/TR’s internal flash memory
- LO frequency saved in flash memory is automatically resored on startup
- LO frequency saved to flash memory may be restored by the operator at any time
- Restoring the LO frequency updates HDSDR, SDR# or Winrad.
- Running the installer puts dlls in existing installation folders for HDSDR, Winrad and SDR# (SDR# installed at C:\Program Files\SDRSharp)
- Firmware now includes a watchdog timer to reset the microcontroller if it “freezes up”
- New and Improved User’s Guide (also available at the documents page)
Download, install (don’t forget to install the firmware update) and enjoy!

How about the hardware mod (10K 1/4 watt resistor)??? Is it still needed?

Thanks for reminding me, I’ll try to post it this evening. If you don’t want to wait, remove the transmitter module before updating the firmware. Then put the transmitter back on and put it back in the enclosure.
