New Features: The 3.00.00 Release Notes include several new features. Seamless Roaming Included in the 3.00.00 release is the ability for BeltStations to change BaseStations without user intervention. Seamless roaming works regardless of the mode of operation of the BaseStation. Normal, Split, and Shared modes are all supported as long as all BaseStations in a Roaming Group are set to the same mode. A “Roaming Capable” radio version, v1.18, is required for roaming functionality. Call on Talk This feature allows individual BeltStations to initiate hardwired Calls at the BaseStation whenever that BeltStation’s TALK button is pressed. In turn, this hardwired Call could then be used to activate a radio link attached to that intercom channel. This feature works independently from any settings at the BaseStation regarding hardwired Calls. Echo Cancellation Control Echo Cancellation is controlled on a per channel basis and can also be controlled from TDesk. Echo Cancellation is performed for channels configured as 2- or 4-wire. Program Volume Control This feature allows each BeltStation to control the mix of program audio (Aux In) that it receives from the BaseStation. Each BeltStation has a control that will allow the program audio to be mixed at a volume level independent of intercom channel volumes, or at a level relative to the maximum intercom channel volume setting for that BeltStation. CALL Button as a Relay Trigger The CALL Button has been added to the list of buttons that can be used to trigger a relay. Initiate Individual BeltStation Calls from TDesk Individual BeltStations are able to be called from the TDesk interface. Te m p e s t 2 . 4 G H z a n d 9 0 0 M H z
4-Channel BeltStations Working on 2-Channel BaseStations 4-Channel BeltStations include the ability to work with 2-Channel BaseStations. Only single channel operation, A or B, is available. Increased Audio Levels at the BaseStation Audio levels have been expanded in the controls for the 2- and 4-wire intercom channels, as well as Stage Announce and Aux Out. Single Listen Mode Option for 4-Channel BeltStations The current mode of operation is considered Dual Listen Mode. A Single Listen Mode has been added. When in Single Mode, any combination of the four channels A,B,C, and D can be enabled, one at a time. While in Single Listen Mode, channel selection advances between active channels using Ch A B for channel A or B, and using Ch C D for channel C or D. Pressing the opposite Ch A B (or Ch C D) button returns the channel selection to the previously selected channel associated with that side.
Enhancements: In addition to the new features in the 3.00.00 release, several enhancements are included. Splash Screen Enhancements • For 3.00.00, the splash screen is more descriptive as to the type of hardware and whether or not the hardware is “Roaming Capable”. BeltStations Not Being Displayed on TDesk • Tempest application code has been improved to reduce the possibility of BeltStations not showing up in TDesk. BeltStations Being Displayed on Multiple Bases • BeltStations can display on two BaseStations for 2-3 seconds as the BeltStation transitions from one BaseStation to the next. Occasionally, the BeltStation would remain on both BaseStations for longer periods of time. Release 3.00.00 addresses this problem. Release Notes 3.00.00

Problem Resolutions: Listed below are the problem resolutions for the 3.00.00 release.
BeltStation names are no longer scrambled on the BaseStation. Bug Description: BeltStation names would occasionally be scrambled on the BaseStation. Specifically, the first four letters would be swapped between BeltStations on the BaseStation display or on TDesk.
BeltStation TALK display no longer goes off. Bug Description: When selecting a BeltStation on TDesk and turning TALK on for Channel A, then changing the channel setting to Neither A/B, then back to A/B, the TALK on the BeltStation and BaseStation would be active, but after a few seconds TALK would go off on TDesk.
Letters in BaseStation names are now correct. Bug Description: BaseStation names on BeltStations sometimes had incorrect letters in them due to incorrect bit errors in the data stream.
Cursor no longer skips over BaseStation names in the roaming group list. Bug Description: When scrolling up and scrolling over to the bottom of the list on BeltStations with more than a full page of BaseStations, the last BaseStation on the list would be skipped.
Changing a BeltStation’s settings from a BaseStation no longer causes mic kill for that BeltStation. Bug Description: Changing a BeltStation’s settings from the BaseStation would generate a mic kill for that BeltStation. Audio is no longer heard with volume OFF due to Min or Max volume settings. Bug Description: Changing the Minimum Volume or Maximum Volume settings during operation of a BeltStation would allow audio to be heard even though the volume was set to OFF.
Turning volume knobs when“Are you sure?” message is displayed no longer produces erroneous results. Bug Description: When selecting either Clear Memory or Factory Default, a BeltStation would display the “Are you sure?” message, with the two expected responses being MENU to exit, or ENTER to continue. Turning either volume knob while this message was displayed would produce unexpected results.
BaseStation’s front panel microphone no longer stays active after Auto Null, even though TALK light is off. Bug Description: After an Auto Null, the front panel headset’s TALK light would be off, but the microphone would still be active. BeltStations no longer get unexpected mic kills when roaming in Shared Mode. Bug Description: When roaming between BaseStations in Shared Mode, BeltStations would get unexpected mic kills. Rapidly pressing the TALK button in Shared Mode no longer causes other BeltStations to receive mic kills. Bug Description: Rapidly pressing the TALK button in Shared Mode would cause other BeltStations to receive mic kills.

Bug Description: Very low level audio could still be heard in Shared Mode BeltStations with both volume levels set to OFF. Master Mode can no longer be turned off inadvertently in 2-channel BaseStations when cycling power. Bug Description: If the Master Mode was turned on in a 2-channel BaseStation and the power was cycled, Master Mode would be inadvertently turned off.
