Tek A5 from Isle of Guernsey issue


 

I recently received a 2465B, s/n 126xxx, from Isle of Guernsey in which the A5 had Rev -04 firmware.
When I update the firmware to a higher Rev (I tried 06, 08, 11) there is strangeness in the readouts.
Lots of extra characters and garbage characters all over the screen.
It's all readout related because if I turn off the readouts it disappears.
Also, when I put Rev 04 back it behaves normally.

It tells me these Guernsey A5 may be slightly different from the Beaverton, USA A5s (B0xxxxx).

I know this is an unusual issue and the solution is to use Rev -04 firmware, but Rev -11 has some nice features and bug fixes.
Has anyone come across this issue?
