World of DX-ing
An old and naughty bug was discovered and fixed in today’s 5.0.2 download.
In my case 10A DigiRadioAntwerp has a TII value of 01 01 for the Antwerpen/Century Center location.
When switching to 9A WDR Regional it also shows Antwerpen/Century Center for the 01 01 TII value and not Aachen/Stolberg. It also works the other way around showing Aachen on 10A.
Values like AZM, km and the map were always generated correctly.

Guido Schotmans wrote a short manual on how to connect your TEF6686 to your local network and check out the logs made with the TEF. It works on the metal cased TEF6686 and on the Deepelec DP-666.
Both are running ESP32 firmware by Sjef Verhoeven.
How to proceed?
Flashing your TEF 6686 might seem to be tricky but it isn’t.
Even more it’s almost impossible to brick your device doing a firmware update.
The official firmware release can be found on Github.
If you are a bit adventurous you might go for the Beta releases by Sjef Verhoeven.
These firmware versions can be found on this Discord channel. (channel).
I’ve often and successfully updated the firmware on my metal cased TEF6686 and on my Deepelec DP-666.
How to do this update?
Check the instructions below made by fellow FM enthusiast Guido Schotmans.
