Updated manual, frequency table has been added + other changes.
Complete manual is now 33 pages.

Note that you can set MAX PRO 3000+ also to 76MHz or even use
it in the 40-54MHz band.

Also note that SE5000 maxlink cable should go from stereo encoder to
max pro 3000+ and not to LCD display (as was erroneously shown
on now corrected diagram)

Firmware last version is now 1.4. (you can check this on LCD module)

Answered via e-mail.

Basically the micro on the LCD module needs to be replaced, but that is easy since it is in a socket.

I got the MAX PRO 3000+ some months ago, it's a great transmitter. However I was curious about the SWR function. On the second screen (after powering up, when the TXs screen switches for the first time), the output power is shown as well as the SWR, if I understand this correctly. But does the transmitter show the actual SWR value, the percentage of the power reflected or the actual value of the power reflected in Watts?

It shows reflected power in watts.
