Hmm, okay; thanks for the report.  I’ll check it out.

The change is a very noticable and welcome change from the behavior of v2.7 when using HPSDR Programmer to change firmware.

While it is not strictly necessary that you load this file into your EEPROM, I recommend doing it if you happen to have a USB blaster cable and are comfortable with doing the loading. If not, don’t fret, simply using HPSDR Programmer to load Angelia_v2.8 into your ANAN-100D will work fine for you and you will observe the erasure speed enhancement when Angelia_v2.8 is in your unit.

When v2.7 is in your unit the erasing speed for firmware changes while using the HPSDR Programmer is noticably longer than when Angelia_v2.8 is present.
