If it all is compatible, then I do the upgrade. If your levels are all good with each other, you should be able to upgrade.

The firmware on the system is compatible. The problem is that because I did not re-IPL the system after upgrading, the HMC is seeing that the new firmware version is deferred till a re-IPL. However, the activated firmware version is that of the version I upgraded to.

I'm trying to find out if I need to re-IPL my managed systems for them to compatible with newer versions of HMC or if simply being the current activated version is good enough.

qthid(1)							      OZ9AEC								  qthid(1)

NAME

       qthid - simple controller for the Funcube Dongle SDR

SYNOPSIS

       qthid

DESCRIPTION

       This  program  is  a Graphical User Interface to control a radio receiver called the Funcube Dongle SDR. This program was written mainly by
       Alexandru Csete, OZ9AEC based upon initial code from Howard Long, G6LVB.

       For more information on the FUNcube project please visit http://www.funcube.org.uk/  and  the  latest  on  the  FUNcube	SDR  dongle  visit
       http://www.funcubedongle.com/

       It provides full support for the Funcube Dongle API::
	* Change frequency and apply frequency correction.
	* Change RF gains and filters.
	* Change IF gains and filters.
	* LNA enhancement, bias current, etc.
	* I/Q correction.
	* Auto-repeat tuning buttons (click and hold button to scan).
	* Variable frequency step.
	* Upgrade and verify the firmware.

       The  qthid program implements the full API available with firmware versions 18f or greater.  It should cover all the functionality provided
       by the "fully functional windows frontend".  Note that the majority of this full API is only available since firmware  18f  and	qthid  3.0
       will not work with earlier firmware.  The application will simply fail to detect any FCD with earlier firmwares.

       You can use qthid-2.2 to upgrade your firmware to 18f or later.
