AR-DV3 FIRMWARE UPDATE v2610A RELEASE NOTES

©2026 AOR, LTD. Oct. 29, 2026


Feature Improvements
- Expanded the accepted parameter ranges for USB commands specifying an 8.33 kHz step or STEP ADJUST values of 3.12 kHz and 4.16 kHz to accommodate rounding differences.
- Added AMP/ATT and COLOR SET to SD card backup files. Both settings are now included when saving and restoring backups.

Bug Fixes
- Corrected frequency rounding in CyberSearch when using an 8.33 kHz step, preventing accumulated frequency errors.
- Corrected an issue where CyberSearch could miss signals within 500 kHz above the lower search limit when searching downward with a step adjustment applied.
- Corrected an issue where CyberSearch did not apply the 3.12 kHz STEP ADJUST setting.
- Corrected an issue where search bank settings made with the SE command were lost when the SS command was used immediately afterward to start searching that bank.
- Corrected an issue where an incorrect LCD OFFSET value was loaded when restoring a backup file from the SD card.
- Corrected an issue where LCD OFFSET and COLOR SET were not applied after restoring a backup file from the SD card.

Known Issue
- P25 signals may fail to demodulate when a specific NAC code is set. This issue also affects earlier firmware versions. A fix is planned for the next release.

Feature Improvements
- Added a recording indicator to the TETRA trunking screen.
- Adjusted the Usage display switching on the TETRA trunking screen to improve readability.

- As part of display stability improvements during search, the S-meter is no longer drawn while the clock is being rendered.
- Changed LCD startup behavior so the backlight remains DARK until the opening screen appears.

Bug Fixes
- Corrected an issue where F-AU settings were not reflected during memory channel recall and scan operation.
- Corrected memory channel save/edit behavior so that F-AU settings are now stored properly.
- Corrected the valid argument range for the CC command used for DMR Color Code.
- Corrected an issue where the NXDN RAN Code readout could incorrectly display the Whitening Code during signal reception.
- Corrected incorrect file size and timestamp display for certain files shown by the SD DIR command.
- Corrected a search issue where 154.450 MHz could fail to be detected under specific search bank settings.
- Corrected abnormal alarm and timer recording behavior when PROTECT was set to ON.
- Corrected an issue where CyberSearch PASS frequencies were not applied after returning to the beginning of a bank.
- Corrected an issue where DMR Color Code, P25 NAC Code, NXDN RAN Code, DCR User Code, and DCR Whitening Code were displayed regardless of the DIGI.DECODE setting. These values are now displayed only when DIGI.DECODE is ON.
- Corrected an issue where unexpected display artifacts could remain at the top of the screen during initial power-on.
