Yes, new firmware. However the last I heard (right before I sent my unit in for fan repair) they were recommending people wait just a bit because they discovered issue where it wasn't counting the number annealed so they were going to fix that. Maybe that's fixed now, I haven't checked in a few days.
I got my AMP annealer back from New Zealand with the cooling fan fixed and it works great.
I decided to update the software to utilize the new "auto" mode where you don't have to push the start button to anneal a piece of brass. It simply recognizes you have entered a new piece and starts automatically.
But I couldn't get their updating software to work and it in fact disabled (locked out) the "aztec" mode on my annealer. I had to contact customer support (which is awesome) to figure this out and they ended up sending me a special update that worked and fixed my unit.
I annealed 100 6mm ARC cases using the "auto" mode and it was great.
So I recommend the new "auto" mode but have to warn you that you might have updating issues like I had updating your unit. Their support has always been great, both when I had the issue with the fan going bad and now with this software update not working. But personally I will be very wary of doing future updates unless I feel it's really necessary.
