Serial Number Ranges:

The higher CPU power of Mod State 3+ devices and the greater data-throughput of Mod State 4 and 5 devices enables the SA380TX to run more advanced firmware that supports programmable mathematical operations, and large master / slave networks.

Because of this,  SA380TX firmware is divided into two camps:

Mod State 1 & 2 Firmware

This firmware is essentially frozen at revision 1.5T446. To provide continued support for the product, minor releases may be made from time-to-time to rectify bugs found in existing firmware, or to extend the life of the product.

Mod State 3+ Firmware

This firmware is actively developed and contains all the latest features and functionality. For a comprehensive overview of the latest features, see the SA380TX Release Notes.
