karlw Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 The V2 hardware update in the DSQD has been in place since the December 2020/January 2021 production runs. Part of the reason for the change was that we had to design out any AKM parts since their factory (for A/D and D/A converters) burned down in fall of 2020. The difference in performance between Vector Diversity in the V2 version, and Ratio Diversity in the V1 version are very subtle and will not be noticed by most users. This is because the DSQD platform wasn't designed from the ground up for Vector, the way the DCR822 was. So, getting Vector Diversity shouldn’t be reason alone for someone to upgrade their units (a $1,500 cost to replace both boards, by the way). The way to tell if a unit is V1 or V2 is by looking at the firmware either during bootup or looking at the "About" screen in the Tools & Settings menu. If the unit is running firmware v1.xx.xx then it is a V1 version. If running 2.xx.xx then it is V2. And, if you go to update a unit using Wireless Designer, it will know which version you have an install the correct update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
