The Updated unit is still labelled as an HC-2 but the version indicated in the software is HC-2b.
There is indeed only 1 external port on this thing, and the charger is USB based.
I have requested a list of other improvements from Ring Engineering and I'll post them here when I have them.

Does the USB charger have anything on it besides the RE sticker (probably under the sticker!) ? I know it'll be 110v input and 5v output but what of the current capability? Seeing as when I get another HC one day I'll have to find a 220v USB charger for it.

Do you know if it will be able to charge at the same time as you download from the RPA?
Tim indicated this functionality will part of a future update to the software.
Currently it's "Charge from the adapter only, and not while using the HC".

There has been several internal changes to help our production but the result for customers is not any real difference. For example, we made several design changes that integrated operations and the net result is significantly lower number of parts in a HC-2b compared to a HC-2. The HC-2b has the exact same amount of program memory and storage memory as the HC-2.
You have to load the RailPro Assistant Rev 2.00 or newer for the RailPro Assistant to connect with a HC-2b USB.
