and more new features are available.
However, we are finding that some of the more aggressive Web
Protection/Virus/Malware applications may be stripping the update and firmware

I have been told there is a bug in FW v1.75 that puts the radio power level all the way to 20 watts on Tune, potentially causing damage if the antenna is too far out of resonance. Is this true? If so where can I get v1.74 to go back to until v1.76 is released to correct the bug?
Douglas Sewell
Just waiting for V 1.76 to get rid of 20 W showing when tuning that risks damaging rig and makes it illegal to use for a UK foundation license holder.
