Added 'tap hazards' with this change basically now you just tap the signal stalk when flashers are on to get the modified patterns (eg wigwag). No longer is it necessary to keep the signal stalk in the left or right positions to keep modified hazards operating. This change means you can drive around a track or patrol a parking lot with wig wag hazards staying on and steering wheel turns won't cancel them.

Also, a new hazard mode that is easy to do: with hazards on, you tap right to get wig wag flashing, then tap left to slow wig wag down, to get slow motion wig wag, what else? If you add strobepack option then slow mo wig wag means you get 2x more pulses per side.

You can read more detail on the web site, in the hazards section. And the new manual is posted as a link there too.

All units shipping forward will have this new capability.

Here's a support message for FT86ers who have treated me so well on this product: if you NEED this new capability added on your existing TapTurn unit that has been manufactured in the last year, I can upgrade the software with a new chip for USD$25 (total) if you send it in to me I will send it back with one day turn around. This is essentially just covering my costs for the upgrade.
