    Don`t forget once this update is installed there is no going back to any previous update. SSSOOOO be sure it is what you want.

    I am holding off on my 1198 until I am sure that I am not loosing features that I use alot of with my current firmware.

    Not true, you can load an earlier version on the unit if you want to.

    Not true at least on the 1198 talked to Hbird support and once the new update is installed it is a done deal CANNOT go back to previous updates.

    I’ve always downloaded the updates to my hard drive then copied them to the card. That way I have always had a back up to go back to. Humm, I see I 3 past updates in the file right now.

    Might be time to clean that file out now with the 2 new ones coming on board.
