I came across the Test and setup utility V1.0 from James Ahlstrom to check the PA bias.

If I run the program I see FW version 74 and Board ID 6. Looking it via Spark it reads FW 74 and Board ID 5.

Can anybody explain this? I assume FW 74, patch 2 and board ID 5 is the latest firmware.

Hi Ronald,

Gateware 74p2 is the latest. I think Quisk may add one to the board ID. The board IDs are listed in the openhpsdr links on this wiki page:

Thks Steve,

Did not check with Quisk but with Spark & Thetis. It is just strange that the PA Bias program from James shows a higher number.
