Does anyone know how to get a firmware update? It mentions this in the manual, but I cannot find anything on their website. The company didn't bother replying to my emails.

I have not had the need for a firmware update, so don't know. This model has been around for several years, so it may not need an update.

I have had my Kaito for several years. The manual is difficult to understand but the actual product has been great for me. As far as the firmware goes I recall seeing that as well at some point in time but there wasn't a version issued that I know about. I don't think there was any need for one. I noticed that you mentioned in your previous review about AM reception being very poor. I have don't use the AM or the shortwave band (very much) but wonder if the optional external antenna would help. Please don't give up too soon. Believe it or not it has a lot of potential.

I received mine a couple weeks ago from Amazon and it did have the new firmware. I think you would be safe to buy from Amazon because of their turnover you will get a fresh one.

I haven't had any issues with mine at all. Have you tried updating the firmware?

I don't know, but is possible because the unit is Excellent. And is possible update the firmware.

I had same problem. Garbage.. I read that it needs updated. But you have to buy the hardware to update it or know someone who has it. I gave up.

Just go to the web.site and looking for the update firmware. Your version is 1.0 it should show a newer version 1.1

The company has been out of business since December of 2010, and I would highly doubt that anyone still has files from back then. I've scoured the internet for anything related to firmware upgrades and I don't see any publications or even announcements for a firmware update. I just figured that was one of the downfalls of this frame. About your only option is to manually change the names of the files on your memory card and shuffle them that way.

Huh, try the new 7.5.1 firmware release issued today. It solves many of the 7.5 issues.

I have never had to update any firmware. I just load the copy and duplicate, I have never had to do that on any of my machines and I have been doing it fora long time.

Bought mine 11 months ago. From around the time of the firmware update of Dec 7th 2012 it has been abysmal - the usual connecting/retrying/initializing network. I've done all the factory reset ops to no avail, as well as the usual with the network. No other devices on my network have issues. Came back to Amazon to check the latest reviews and lo and behold - I see tons of new radios with the same issue. In one review you see Grace acknowledging a firmware issue - but I have to ask WhyTheF haven't they either 1) reverted back to the previous-good firmware version by global release, or 2) enabled users with problems to install the previous version via the USB slot. You can clearly see how many of these units were purchased for Christmas here and returned to Amazon as defective. According to Grace's comments in this review: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1LDJTD7SEV60R/ref=cm_cr_pr_cmt?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B004YI9NTS&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag=#wasThisHelpful ===== I apologize for the frustration you are having. A recent software upgrade affected a small percentage of our customers. Unfortunately, our core software engineers are on holiday. They will be back on Monday and will work diligently to create a software upgrade for any customer who is experiencing this problem. ===== So I either waste time going through their support site and file a ticket, or hope that according to them the imminent release of good firmware will come. If you're having the connecting/initializing/retrying loop, rather than pulling your hair out thinking it's your network - consider if might be the bad firmware.

I read that this was an issue related to an earlier version of the software in the AP. Go to their website, download the new firmware and follow the directions to install it. This is supposed to correct the issue. I got updated firmware as soon as I installed the AP and I have not had any problems.

Works fine for me. Never seen it. For almost an year restarted it only two times to upgrade the firmware.

Did you try to update the firmware? My firmware version was very old out of the box, and the device keeps freezing and crashing and disconnecting. But after updated to the latest version, it works perfectly! &#128076;
