There is no programming port -- you program it via the receiver wire. It would just be a sticker change and "locking in" the existing older non-timing-advance firmware.
Then there's new part numbers, packaging, carrying inventory, distribution, etc., etc., etc.
Question is, why would they go through the trouble? They're selling the RS series faster than they can make them, and all of this timing advance hubbub will be a crazy memory in a year when all of the speedos are in the same realm of performance again. I think it was incredibly generous of them to come on here, listen to everyone, and offer to create a special firmware version, complete with a unique chime, basically just for VTA. But to ask them to create a new speedo, obsolete right out of the box, just for the class is pushing it IMO.
