[wxsig] RE: Problem w/ new t-238+

[Kent Ochs]

John,
 
Ah, I see you are a "9" lander as well.  Display says 1.15.0R.  I Guess I have some updating to do.  Where can I find the latest and greatest code?
 
Thanks.

my problem. I don't have anything handy to check, but I think you need at 
least 1.5.3 for the 9 land fix.
