The release details and history are provided in the following sections.
NEW FEATURES (Reason for Change)
• Release includes P25 UL Traffic Phase I Mobile ID detection improvement.
• Includes a fix for LMR measurements from the RF2 port where measurements were using the RF1 calibration table instead of the correct RF2 calibration table, improving RF2 port measurement accuracy by 1–2 dB.
• DMR UL Decode Scan: On some proprietary networks, Mobile ID may not be decoded; however, RSSI, SINR, FBER, CC, SD, and frequency offset may still be decoded.
• Wi-Fi testing performed simultaneously with cellular, LMR, or other types of tests is not recommended. It is recommended to perform Wi-Fi testing as a standalone test rather than in combination with other tests. If simultaneous testing is required, consider using the new PCTEL tablet-based approach for Wi-Fi testing. For further questions, please contact Product Management or the Sales team.
Note: The Wi-Fi technology options and dongle for the scanner are no longer available for purchase.
KNOWN PROBLEMS AND LIMITATIONS IN THIS RELEASE
• #5789: IBflex DSP Crash when SD card Recording on CDMA L3 is enabled.
• #5804: SIB24 message does not report any information for LTE Blind scan with Layer 3 enabled.
• #6479: Scanner reports RP value below than -150 dBm on rare occasions.
• #7120: NR Blind Scan freezes on extremely rare occasions.
• #7468: P25 DL Decode sometimes does not report SINR/FBER in strong RF conditions. The detection has improved in release 3.10 and further investigation is in progress.
PROBLEMS RESOLVED IN THIS RELEASE COMPARED TO PREVIOUS RELEASE
• #9060: In TETRA Decode measurements, LAC values are not being updated for radio sites sharing the same frequency.
• #9115: In 5G measurements, the number of beams per PCI may not be fully reported. The latest 3GPP standard now allows up to 10 beams per PCI in FR1.
• #9132: Mixed-signal P25 downlink fails to detect the Control Channel (CC) when the channel style or bandwidth is changed.

The release details and history are provided in the following sections.
NEW FEATURES (Reason for Change)
• Release supports upgrading firmware on the scanner without the need for warranty extension. Scanners with firmware version 3.14.1.0 or below, must have a future date in the “Warranty Field” of the inquiry in order to update to 4.x firmware. If the date is in the past, a warranty extension file must first be downloaded from the PCTEL website and applied. Additional information is available on PCTEL’s Support page. Click on Downloads.
Note: This process will not work if attempting to upgrade firmware older than version 2.0.
• Release includes improved Delay Spread measurement for eTopN LTE when bandwidth is less than or equal to 5 MHz.
• Release adds support for NR n77p proprietary band. This translates 3300–4200 MHz to:
o 5150 – 3300 = 1850 MHz
o 5150 – 4200 = 950 MHz
Note: The GSCN channel is undefined for this band. The ‘Cell Defining SSB’ measurement mode will not detect GSCN-based networks. Only ‘ARFCN Search’ is supported.
• Support for LAC measurement in Tetra Decode Scan and Tetra Active Decode Scan.
o Expands the existing Data Mode = 1 to include CC, MCC, MNC, LAC (12-bit decimal), and D-MLE-SYSINFO (42-bit hex).
o LAC is the first 12 bits of D-MLE-SYSINFO (42 bits), and D-MLE-SYSINFO represents the last 42 bits of the SYSINFO PDU (124 bits). The entire SYSINFO PDU is decoded.
o No additional option is required.
• Support for OOS (Out-Of-Service) testing in DMR DL Decode and Active Scan Decode.
o Test Pattern 1: STD DL 511 O.153
o Test Pattern 2: STD DL 1031
• Support for Symbol Deviation and Modulation Fidelity measurement in P25 UL Control and Traffic.
o In UL traffic channels, these parameters will be reported only when Phase I is decoded.
KNOWN PROBLEMS AND LIMITATIONS IN THIS RELEASE
• #5789: IBflex DSP Crash when SD card Recording on CDMA L3 is enabled.
• #5804: SIB24 message does not report any information for LTE Blind scan with Layer 3 enabled.
• #6479: Scanner reports RP value below than -150 dBm on rare occasions.
• #7120: NR Blind Scan freezes on extremely rare occasions.
• #7468: P25 DL Decode sometimes does not report SINR/FBER in strong RF conditions. The detection has improved in release 3.10 and further investigation is in progress.
PROBLEMS RESOLVED IN THIS RELEASE COMPARED TO PREVIOUS RELEASE
• #8389: Scanner may not report the DPL code in this release. The previous release works fine, and the issue will be fixed in the next release.
• #8556: IBflex scanner SYS LED turns red when starting an LTE Blind scan using a customer application.
• #8571: IBflex DSP error crash on rare occasions. while running the customer workspace with Spectrum Analysis.

o Measurement is available in eTopN mode only.
o Measurement is enabled by setting “SignalMode” to “Compensated NTN LTE”.
o For eTopN mode, RX can be set to 1 or 2; for RX=2, connect two antennas (left-hand circular polarization antenna to RF1 and vertical polarization antenna to RF2 ).
o When the “number of RX = 2,” the scanner collects data from both RF ports and reports the maximum RSRP from each port.
o Scanner also reports the frequency offset for each Cell ID.
o MIMO parameters are not reported for RX=2 mode.
o NTN mode requires a new option: 000D 000A.
• Improvement in HCPM Modulation for P25 Phase II UL traffic scans.
• Release includes support for Mixed Analog/P25 (ASTRO 25) Signal Measurement.
o Supported in P25 Decode Scan Message UL with Data Mode = 2; requires option 0x0033 000D.
o UL measurement provides RSSI, SNR, FBER, NID, Mobile ID, and frequency offset.

NEW FEATURES (Reason for Change) COMPARED TO PREVIOUS RELEASE
• Added new 5G NR bands: N13, N24, N26, N46, N47, N67, N85, N97, N98, N99
KNOWN PROBLEMS AND LIMITATIONS IN THIS RELEASE
• [#6307]: The FBER values for P25 Decode tests may be higher than it is supposed to be when tested in groups of channels.
• [#5804]: SIB24 message doesn’t report any information for LTE Blind scan with Layer3 enabled
• [#5789]: DSP crashed observed when SD recording for CDMA L3 is enabled
• [#5485]: Scanner crashes when running nrBlind scan and stopping it. This issue happens very rarely. If you recycle the power of the scanner you can rerun the measurement.
• [#5481]: NR FR1 Blind Scan takes too long before detecting channel up to 40 iterations. Solution: This error happens rarely. In order to resolve wait for a longer period till the scanner pick up the signal.
• [#5463]: NR FR1 Blind scan skips some sweeps with good RF conditions. Solution: Run for at least 5 iterations or more.
PROBLEMS RESOLVED IN THIS RELEASE COMPARED TO PREVIOUS RELEASE
• [#6395]: P25 DL shows FBER = 50% while the SNR = 10 dB.
• [#6108]: Scanner fails to decode after leaving it ON for long duration i.e. several days.

NEW FEATURES (Reason for Change) COMPARED TO PREVIOUS RELEASE
• Added measurement support for 5G FR1 sub-6GHz transmission systems that are using base stations deployed with dual polarized antennas. nrTopN for sub 6Ghz has been enhanced to support this measurement through a new software option that can be purchased by customers. The measurement using a dual polarized antenna requires users to utilize antennas with two different RF antennas to be connected to both ports on the scanner. The two RF antennas should have different polarizations. The vertically polarized antenna V-Pol needs to be connected to the RF1 port and the horizontally polarized antenna needs to be connected to the RF2 port. The gains for the antenna connected to each port are input parameters which the user has to select from the table below based on the antenna being used:
Antenna: PCTEL p/n Polarization Frequency Gain – drive test Gain – walk test
OP278H Vertical 2.5 GHz 3.0 3.0
BOAH242505NF Horizontal 2.5 GHz 3.0 5.0
OP278H Vertical 3.5 GHz 3.0 3.0
BOA33005H Horizontal 3.5 GHz 2.0 6.0
• The number of channels supported for P25, DMR and Tetra downlink decode have been increased to 40 channels respectively
• Support for P25 Phase 1 UL measurements have been added. This is a software option available for purchase to users. Maximum number of channels supported for P25 Phase 1 UL is 40 channels.
• Internal heartbeat status message sent from the scanner has been increased in frequency, from every 1 minute to every 15 seconds

NEW FEATURES (Reason for Change)
• New NB-IoT Top N signal measurement
• RSSI with style 9 supported
• New feature for TD-LTE Power Analysis measurement:
o The scanner measures UL, DL, DwPTS, GP and UpPTS power in a TD-LTE frame. The input message includes UL/DL configuration and SSF configuration.
• New features for EPS measurement to allow higher resolution time measurement.
o Scanner will perform power measurement on a single ‘Symbol’ in a LTE frame. The EPS must be synchronized to the frame.
• New bands EU-72DL, EU-72UL, EU-74DL, EU-74UL, EU-75DL-CA, EU-76DL-CA, TDD EU-50 and TDD EU-51.
• GPS altitude saved to SD card.
• Visual indication of scanner abnormalities:
o SYS LED will start blinking red if the firmware is terminated abnormally due to an internal error and blinking amber if an internal communication error detected.
PROBLEMS RESOLVED IN THIS RELEASE
• [#4704] Some TD-LTE eTop N Frequency scans do not work band 300~3800 MHz
• [#4795] The blind scan was not scanning full range of the band; rather, it scans only first 255 channels. This happens in all the technologies except LTE.
• [#4651] If running eTop N with FDD and TDD at the same time, the FDD scan has values for Special Subframe Config, which should only be present for TDD scans.

NEW FEATURES (Reason for Change)
• Blind scan option: Here are the new features of new LTE blind scan in IBflex 2.1.
1. It runs much faster than previous releases. The actual speed difference depends on the spectrum of the band.
2. The RSSI Threshold parameter in Blind scan input can change the rate of acquisition. For RSSI Threshold <= -110 the acquisition is very slow. The recommended value for RSSI Threshold is a value greater than -110 dBm.
3. It supports L3 measurement in addition to WB data mode. This feature is enabled by eTOP N L3 option.
• New superbands to support eTOPN and eMBMS measurements with frequency input measurement. Other measurements including Blind scan, Power Analysis and RSSI are not supported.
• New LTE bands added: 47, 69, 70
• New Public Safety TETRA bands.
• CDMA L3 option enabled. The scanner can report Synch and Paging Channels. The following messages are supported:
o 1. Synch Message.
o 2. System Parameter Message.
o 3. Extended System Parameter Message.
o 4. Neighbor List Message.
o 5. Extended Neighbor List Message.
o 6. CDMA Channel List Message.
o 7. CDMA Extended Channel List Message
KNOWN PROBLEMS IDENTIFIED IN THIS RELEASE
• [#4256] The first record of a GPS measurement has an incorrect GPS status. (Antenna is not connected.)
• [#4362] When GSM with L3 is running with other scans, inaccurate C/I is reported.
• [#4333] TopNeMBMS multicast, CINR might significantly drop from time to time.
• TD-LTE eTopN only works with SeeHawk Touch Version 1.2.1.7 or later.
• [#4442] For previous IBflex models, under current usage guidelines, excessive pilot drift in CDMA hold over measurement is possible. This problem can be resolved using a new OCXO.
PROBLEMS RESOLVED IN THIS RELEASE
• [#4685] Scanner occasionally crashes with SeeHawk Studio when we run Blind Scan (Auto-detect) with Quick Scan Mode on All LTE bands
• [#4686] Blind scan on WCDMA and LTE together is not working.
• [#4689] Running eTOPN for one FD and one TD causes crash.
• [#4708] Scanner crashes with SeeHawk Studio when Slow Blind Scan on All LTE bands is run.

• The RF2 port is solely used for LTE MIMO measurements and the SAI feature.
• For WIFI measurement the Proxim WiFi Adapter needs to be connected before boot up. It provides support for 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi.
• The IBflex scanner supports a Bluetooth 4.0 connection on Android devices as an alternative to USB cable. Bluetooth remains discoverable until it is connected via PCTEL’s Android Application.
• For proper communications with Bluetooth, the external Bluetooth antenna needs to be connected to the WIFI/BT SMA connector.
• The COM port is the USB connection on the scanner.
• The scanner will appear as a SeeGull MX scanner on the PC communication port and requires the MX driver.
• The USB driver no longer indicates “PCTEL Gadget” as the device
• RSSI, SA and EPS scan speed is about 60% the speed of previous hardware model.
• RSSI measurement handles a maximum of 2560 channels.

When not using L3, the accuracy of the configuration measurement is affected by the quality of the signal (interference, power level, etc.)
KNOWN PROBLEMS IDENTIFIED IN THIS RELEASE
• [#4256] The first record of a GPS measurement has an incorrect GPS status. (Antenna is not connected.
• [#4362] When GSM with L3 is running with other scans inaccurate C/I is reported.
• [#4333] TopNeMBMS multicast CINR significant drop from time to time.
• TD-LTE eTopN only works with SeeHawk Touch Version 1.2.1.7 or later.
• [#4442] Under current usage guidelines, excessive pilot drift in CDMA hold over measurement is possible.
PROBLEMS RESOLVED IN THIS RELEASE
• [#4422] RSRP of an LTE PCI will occasionally drop a significant amount.
• [#4423] In WiFi blind scan, an SSID can be reported multiple times even when it is not broadcasting its SSID
• [#4396] Updated FD_LTE/TDEMBSM algorithm for high traffic measurements.
• [#4444] Crashes when eMBMS is running with eTopN scans.
• TDLTE threshold adjusted for 5 MHz and 20 MHz BW to limit the false peak.
