MR-88 Firmware: Current Version Is Now v1.11
McIntosh now has a later release of the MR-88 Firmware (v1.11) that fixes a software bug that I was having with "ghosts" of the tuning indicator being left on the screen as I turned the tuning dial.
I was previously using v1.10 which was necessary for XM reception. v1.11 seems to now be common with the MR-87 (but with XM and HD support). I'm happy and thankful to McIntosh for fixing my bug.... If you are having unexplained weirdness with your MR-88 (like I did with the linear tuning dial), you might want to apply this v1.11 update... Please note that the update process works perfectly now on Windows 7 through the latest (1-May) release of Windows 10. YOU MUST BE RUNNING THE UPDATE PROGRAM ON A COMPUTER WITH A GENUINE INTEL CPU!! YOU WILL "BRICK" YOUR MR-88 IF YOU TRY TO RUN THE UPDATE ON AN AMD BASED COMPUTER!!!! Last edited by feinstei; 05-02-2018 at 04:59 PM. Reason: Fix spelling bugs... |

Yep! My MR-88 works perfectly now! Linear dial "ghosting" is fixed. I'd recommend that everyone who is still at 1.00 or 1.10 apply this update.... |

feinstei.......Well, I have no ghosting issues with my log scale indicator or any other issues with my MR88 tuner, so my motto is "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
I am curious if the v:1.11 firmware improved any of the HD or XM tuning capabilities, or only addressed the log scale indicator issue.

I believe that the major goal of this update was to fix bugs and produce a common firmware platform for the MR-88 and its much-inferior (feature wise) successor, the MR-87. The "log scale indicator" issue that I ran into was one of the bugs that it fixed. I'm sure that Chuck Hinton at McIntosh could enumerate the changes in v1.11. Chuck very kindly E-mail'd me the new firmware... |

The following is my own editorial opinion and is not to be construed as being an endorsement: If you aren't running v1.11, I'd call Chuck and ask him for it (or I can E-mail it to you -- just send me a PM), whether you're experiencing problems or not. As long as you have a Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8.x, or Windows 10 PC with a genuine Intel CPU, it's very safe to do and the instructions are very clear on how to do it. |
