I just got a NS11 GPS and the noises it makes while tracking drive me up a wall! After some research I assumed MC version 3.0 due to the "bee in a can" description. I just powered it up and went into utilities and there was no "version" option to select from. This would make me think HC version 1.2 and MC version 2.0 or lower, but after going into factory debug mode I found I do in fact have HC version 1.2 and the MC 3.0 version. With that said here are my questions:
1) Since I have HC 1.2 and MC 3.0 can I upgrade the MC to 4.06 via the port on the base of the scope?
1b) Can I select which version I want or do I have to upgrade to the newest?
2) If yes and I do so since I'm keeping HC 1.2 and only upgrading MC will this allow me to keep the GPS Align feature?
3) I see no point in fixing something that isn't broken so provided I can upgrade the MC version (to address the noise) since I don't want to lose the GPS align is there any point in upgrading the HC version?
As a side note, I need a Windows computer to do this, really??!! That's insane, I haven't used a Windows computer in a decade. Also, I'm SHOCKED that with all of us being slight geeks somebody hasn't created a firmware that's keeps the best of all the features Celestron has offered. At least some type of a hack or work around.
Thank you all for reading and for any insight or help you can offer.
