Yes I agree, there  is IMPORTANT DATA MISSING  from the table, see my sig line for what I have on/in my Classic...

[Resthome]

Yeah my CL150 has

   
New Classic Firmware : Classic 2151 5/26/17, Network 2122, MNGP 2149  5/26/17
                               
New Classic Firmware : Classic 2151 5/26/17, Network 2122, MNGP 2149  5/26/18. MNGP updated for D2D for Voice - note version not changed when ability to set time range for voice to operate.

boB provided CL 2193 but the chart says it should be paired with MNGP 2148.  Not sure I should use 2193 with the 2149. This whole firmware issue has gotten out of hand and especially the lack of read.me file saying why the update ever since the new firmware loader.

Personally I think the chart is out of date and if MN is going to provide this info in the Knowledge Base it needs to be keep current, although I could be wrong. Don't get me wrong I love MN products and the MN employees that respond and post here. I know they are all busy with new products but there is such a thing as sustaining engineering for current shipping product.

Classic version 2193 should work with any of these newer MNGP versions  (21xx).....   

Depending on the MNGP version, there might not be the right code for voice but that shouldn't matter for regular old Classic workings.

No new menus or other features besides voice stuff AFAIK.

Official update still coming as we go through the red bureaucracy tape.

Thanks for finally getting the 2193 Classic and the 2186 MNGP firmware posted to the download page.

[ClassicCrazy]

I was going to try and update this firmware via the remote serial port  -- not sure if that is possible but can't even try with the standard firmware updater because it does not let you pick a serial port.  I tried changing it to serial port 8 but software still did not recongnize it.

Just updated the old fashioned way using usb cable directly to Classic. It all went smooth with provided updater on Windows 10 here.
Now at
2186 MNGP  11/29/17
2193 Classic  2/6/2018
2122 Network
It set my time back to 9/10/2000
All my other settings stayed the same - except the voice that I had turned off came back on to read the screens.

Keep us posted on what you discover Larry.

Not sure when we are going to get back to the boat, too much smoke from all the fires and add the heat it's just not any fun.

Oh - I just found a weird quirk without even trying too hard.
When the Classic is in Float and I press Enter it sounds an alternating tone and keeps on going - only way to stop it is to press the Main Menu button . MNGP 2186 Classic 2193 .  It does this in every Audio talking mode - except for OFF . Here is link to youtube video of it .

But it does seem so far like the talking problem of the past when it went  into MPPT float is fixed.

This newest MNGP software rev 2196 is supposed to fix the annoying beeping sound.

2196 hasn't been released yet.  Should be soon though...  I just learned about the change myself.

I thought that the beep was gone a long time ago but I guess not.

Thanks Larry and boB, guess I will wait.

Hopefully, ECN doesn't take months like the last one.

I also noticed that the 2193/2186  is not respecting the quiet time for voice. It talked briefly a couple times announcing the status ( when it started charging )  before the quiet time period ended.

When I need an update, can I download to Linux, put the file on removable storage, and then find a Win PC to do the actual update?

The answer may be an obvious "yes" but other devices/companies require a connection during the update process.  If this is in the Classic manual I haven't found it.

My ENTER buttons make the alternating beep noise often. I just figured I'd get quieter with practice.

It's doing that with the current version I have. So that bug apparently didn't get fix yet.
