There are actually two improvements for the T2-135. The first was on
the version2 board a de-emphasis filter was added. (I keep meaning to
order one).
The second was hidden (In plain view:) ) in one of Scott's
announcements that he made some timing changes to improve decode performance.
(Remember I am talking about the T2-135 DECODING - Not other stations
decoding me).

I'm not sure how the latest build would have improved reception, but if
anyone else is as curious as I was, I've generated coverage maps for
KC5EVE for his travels on the 29th and 30th. You can see them at:

There are a few holes along the route, but when it had coverage, it had
nice coverage!
