V1.3.7 Oct 2018 Add support for FT-818ND
V1.3.6 Nov 2014 Bugfix: permit null records when importing a .CSV file; when converting to Kenwood files with frequencies ending in 500kHz a tuning step of 5 is needed; detect tab characters when processing a .CSV file header
V1.3.5 Aug 2012 Add a new command 'Show a taller grid height' to the Settings menu
V1.3.4 Mar 2012 Add an option to update the frequency of M603 in 'out of the box' (unmodified) US models of FT-817ND, FT-857D and FT-897D radios in accordance with FCC regulations effective 5 March 2012.
 Bugfix: correct incorect line spacing for 1/2" and above top margin when printing overflows to a new page.
V1.3.3 May 2011 Add a printer selection dialog.
V1.3.2 Jan 2010 Bugfix: correct an error 13 if the TX Shift/Freq cell is deleted in a memory.

V1.2.6 May 2008 Change: change the initial settings for DTR and RTS to Y so as to automatically power programming cables that take power from the serial port. Installing this version as an update will not affect your current settings. 
V1.2.5 Apr 2008 Add: a new command to assist in detecting the correct Com port
V1.2.4 Dec 2007 Add: on the Repeater Rules window add an option to permit any frequency to be entered, and add Simplex to the Repeater Shift options;  the ability to convert memory files to FTBVR5K format.

V1.2.2 May 2007 Add: ability to move 1 or more adjacent memories up or down the grid using F11 and F12.
V1.2.1 Apr 2007 Add: alternative read method which accommodates multiple data packets and delays when receiving data from the serial port. Bugfix: correct error 9 when adding a new memory if repeater rules not active.
V1.2.0 Mar 2007 Add: user-customised rules for automatic setting of repeater shift direction and amount. Please read the Repeater Rules section for special treatment of FT-847 repeater frequencies. Bugfix: correctly identify 'T SQL' when importing VX-6 Commander .CSV files.
V1.1.9 Feb 2007 Add: option on the Settings screen to highlight 817/857/897 memories in groups of 20. Change: make gridlines darker.

V1.1.0 Jun 2005 Add conversion of Kenwood TH-F6A/F7E files (from the program MCP-F6F7.EXE) to/from FTBasic format.

V1.0.9 Apr 2005 Add support for US models of the FT-857D and FT-897D radios being modified to only extend the VHF/UHF transmit range, thus keeping the 5 MHz spot frequency channels in memories M-601/5.

V1.0.8 Jan 2005 Change the Export VX-7 Commander routine to always output US/UK format dots and commas. This is regardless of which convention is currently being used by the operating system.
