I finally took a few minutes and performed the firmware update and I am now on 2412AN.

Feature Improvements:
1. DCR Mode - Whitening Code (WC):
- Added Whitening Code (WC) functionality to selective reception features.
AUTO and manual code settings are supported:
AUTO Mode: Automatically decodes the voice regardless of the Whitening Code set by the transmitter. The detected code number is displayed on-screen. Manual Mode: Allows manual selection of a Whitening Code from 001 to 511.
How to Access This Feature:
Set the receive mode to "D-CR".

2. DCR Mode - Auto-Descramble:
- The 15-bit auto-descramble function now works even when the transmitter has enabled the "Selective Call" feature.

3. DCR Mode - Scan & Search Enhancements:
- The Scan & Search feature now bypasses signals containing only a carrier or data. However, it will still stop on encrypted signals, which cannot be decoded.
