Icom R75 firmware check
Is there a combination of key presses that will show the firmware version?
If not, is there a software means of getting it? I'd like to know what I'm getting into. mike -- __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ / /\ / /\ / /\ / /\ / /\ / /\ / /\ / / / /\ \/ /\'Think tanks cleaned cheap' /\ \/ / /_/ \/_/ \/_/ \/_/ \/_/ \/_/ \/_/ \/_/ Densa International© For the OTHER two percent.

Likely, you gets what you gets. |

I saw a reference to an IC-r75-12 somewhere in reference to a version number. I can't find any reference in the manual to the usually non functioning 'synch' function either. I can get this set for a fair price, but I need to know more about it before committing. The search for decent Linux control programs is also ongoing. mike |

Even my now antiquated HP calculators usually tell you what they are running. I wonder if there is a list of serial numbers tied to the manufacturing date somewhere. If the radio isn't firmware upgradable through factory processes, it's likely that there is only one firmware version. But there are several variants of the radio itself, pursuant to bandplans and other limitations imposed by local governments worldwide. ICOM has historically, issued an appended model number for each variant. As well, radios powered by 12 volts as opposed to mains current, will carry a differentiating model number. If it's a USA model, you've got the right version of the firmware. Then, again, as with R71, the firmware may be field upgradable with a third party chip or daughterboard. You may want to call Bellevue and ask for clarification. And I'm guessing KIWA would have that specialized knowledge, as well. |
