Re: Firmware-PCConfig Decode
I would not. There is a file format difference between them all that will most certainly cause adverse side effects.

Re: Firmware-PCConfig Decode
Will the Firmware upgrade delete the functions in the radio, such as FPP?

Re: Firmware-PCConfig Decode
How long it take to upgrade the firmware?
What should I need to pay attention on it?

Re: Firmware-PCConfig Decode
It takes around 15 minutes or so normally.
Like most companies, they come out with updates to introduce new features, enhance current ones, and more importantly fix bugs. I don't think EFJ is any different. I am a believer in keeping everything I own up to date. Others have a 'if ain't broke don't fix it mentality.' It is up to the user I guess.

Re: Firmware-PCConfig Decode
I just a "5100 Code Updater" of v 1.18.15.
It is my first time to deal with it so I got some problems:
1. What is "Boot" upgrade?
2. What is "Application" upgrade?
3. My EFJ is v 1.16.9, do I need to upgrade both in same time or one by one?
4. Will the parameters in all zones and channels are deleted?
5. This make me worry most, the instructions said that after complete upgrade, there is "Bad_F1_Fmt" showed on display, it said "read the file out of the radio with PCConfigure and write the file back in". Does it mean the just read the radio and then write the radio soon after the reading, there is no requires of setting the parameters in channels?
Thank you!

Re: Firmware-PCConfig Decode
My guess is that you'd be OK with 1.22.0.4, but we are talking about 4 yr old software. I don't think there were major file format changes between the two, but I could be wrong.

Re: Firmware-PCConfig Decode
There are 2 firmwares installed in the radio, a Boot code and an Application Code. It is similar to the BIOS and your OS on your home computer.KMB wrote:I just a "5100 Code Updater" of v 1.18.15.

Do the Boot first, then the application.
The upgrade will not affect the current programming (unless there was a file format change, then all you'd need to do to correct is to read, then write with the correct version of PCC to correct it). The upgrade will not affect any options in the radio either (e.g. OTAR, Keypad programming, etc...)
