nicFW880 ALPHA 17
🕑 Added 2025-08-27 20:54:05 +0000 UTC!!The firmware DOES NOT support sub 300 serial number radios!!
IMPORTANT:
You must follow the SPI Flash restore process [Here]
USB and LSB modes in the Si4732 Tuner will not operate correctly if you don't.
After you have restored the SPI Flash, close the RMS and reopen it.
Hey everyone!
Here is the ALPHA 17 release of nicFW880. This update brings some important refinements and new functionality, especially for the Si4732 Tuner Module.
๐ง Key Changes
Squelch hysteresis
Defaults adjusted
Split into ExNoise and RSSI settings
Range limits extended to 20
Si4732 Tuner Module
Now supports LW, MW, and SW bands
Presets can be created/edited with the RMS app or through the CMS menu
Presets are stored/numbered just like regular channel slots
Note: Tuner Presets in the RMS do not need any band information. The band is inferred from the frequency.
Shortwave split into three bands:
SW1 = 1.7 โ 6.0 MHz
SW2 = 6.0 โ 12 MHz
SW3 = 12 โ 30 MHz

It's not supported, early model I do not have one and can't get one so I can't code for it.

Hello guys, If I have 00131 at the end of my SN - I need to clean everythihg or the installation is not possible anymore ?
Douglas Morse
I have a very low serial number for my 880G, "... 00057". Is that going to be an issue with releases in general?
