- Enhanced protection of userdata.

News in version 2.10:       

- New settings makes "auto connect"  possible when power on.
- Fixed a bug which made USB-connection not possible if DNS-settings was wrong at the same time
  as DNS was needed to resolve SIP-contact IP 

News in version 2.09:     

 - CW-keying via USB
- PTT via USB
- Selectable CW-Key or PTT Footswitch via IN 0
- Configurable outputs on Radio-RRC, can be WEB-controlled, controlled by PTT etc.
  Attention! If you have used the inputs or outputs for ex. CW you must reconfigure them
- Fixed problem with PTT together with CW
- Factory default reset is now a real factory default reset.
- Possibility to control Mic preamp the from web interface.


News in version 2.07:     


- New dropdown menus which makes the setup a little bit easier.


News in version 2.06:       


- Fix for IC-E2820, which solves the problem with disconnection if no activity
- You need to update RRC-Manager to v1.2 if you need USB setup.
- Nothing else, so you only need to update if you use IC-2820


News in version 2.05:       

- The internal web server is modified to support some bad versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
- Enhanced handling of FIFO:s for COM1 and COM2
- New function where the user can decide if RTS/CTS should be sent to the opposite RRC via COM1.
- New mode 5 for COM1 and COM2 in which the user can decide what the End Of Message character
  should be. Handy for ex. rotator control. The EOM decides when the data packet should be sent from
  one RRC to the other.
- New function which makes it possible to activate a continues audio stream from Radio RCC to
  Control RRC. Some mobile (3G) networks have difficulties to sync fast enough when you release the
  PTT.
- Fix in IC-706 mode that makes it possible to connect the speaker direct to the RRC without loosing
  the modulation.


News in version 2.02:
