Amazon now has the new 2009 version, here: http://www.amazon.com/Elgato-Systems-10020974-Hybrid-Reception/dp/B001QCYHXM/ I don't know why they keep offering these older versions as well.

just got mine today (08/22/08). included maps are the 2008 edition. when i registered the product i got a free download for the 2009 edition - which i am taking advantage of as i type this... according to the 'thank you for registering' email, the free update to 2009 maps is available until september 21st, and when you accept the download, you have 90 days to get it before the product key expires. (its a good 2 hour download alone, not including install time)

I am so sorry. I have been reading one thing and thinking another. The integration we are currently working on is live365 not last.fm. www.live365.com Sorry for the mistake. Greg

Max,I got a new HT via A,azion.com and it came from Radio mart in KY. Just way to many of you are worried about the newest version. My newest version is a 5RA and it has the 2nd to the last firmware.But that means nothing at all. All you need to know is here. http://www.miklor.com/ Please join the list but those guys will just tell you to read up in the files.I like mine,it has a siren,the case is beautiful but it has it's quirks. Guys are downloading software but I did mine manually. Some need WIN XP and others using VISTA need to download an updated driver. PLEASE DO NOT WORRY ABOUT LATEST FIRMWARE as i may only be a restriction on what you can or can't do out of the ham bands. I called this pure junk because it is hard to manually program it and at timed I'm in FREQ mode and it jumps into memory mode. Keep in mind that the mailing list is very,very large and many still do not have a TECH license. Use it as it was intended for and don't try making a queen mary from a canoe. Many are still using the very first unit and have no problems http://www.409shop.com/shop_displaynews.php?id=608&userid=100556 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/baofeng_uv5r/ These links will help BOB AF2Q

I tried it out today...FM radio sounds great. The player even has an "auto scan" option similar to seek in a car radio - it will automatically pick up all the stations that have good reception/audio quality and put them all in presets. This way you don't have to go through every decimal number (98.4, 98.5, 98.6,etc) looking for stations.

I have read the same thing, but both J&R; Music and Amazon continue to sell this item -- is it an upgrade ... a NEW model ... or a close-out of the old potentially "defective" unit?

Hey Dave,Would you tell me how to find out which firmware is currently on my player?Thanks.

Yes, I would like actually like verification on this as well. I actually need to order this now, and can't wait to fully verify whether it comes with ProTools 8 or not. The only mention of a ProTools version in the product description is of ProTools LE 7, but it mentions the free upgrade to ProTools 8 when it is released, so I think the product description is just outdated. I believe all new Mbox 2's should come with ProTools 8. If it ends up coming with 7, I'll be trying to get a free upgrade to 8 from Digidesign, since the product description does say you are entitled to one. This was an old post, but I'll report back when I receive it and confirm whether or not it comes with ProTools 8 or not. I just don't want to have to pay the $150 upgrade for ProTools 8. If someone who ordered this off Amazon recently could confirm whether or not it comes with ProTools 8 before tomorrow when I have to order it, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

In my experience with FM9 it was limited to 2 computers. I am not sure about FM10.

Yes this model supports FM radio. It already has a built-in FM radio function.

Thanks for the heads up Oscar. I just had Amazon call me back about it, and they do NOT currently carry the new version.
