what firmware do the radios coming from Amazon stock have??
916871
My radio was delivered 9/9/13. Checked unit & says BF297. Only way to check if for firmware versions newer than 297 is with chirp software. Checked with chirp and is actually BF307

Mine was a reboxed new unit, firmware was 251. Its alittle older, but does what I wanted. Other stock may have different firmware

My radio says BFB297. Read this, however:http://www.miklor.com/uv5r/UV5R-FWRelease.html

My Amazon order on Dec. 11 produced a cradle with the old firmware. If you need it now, you would be better off at a store where you can inspect the product before purchase. Dual is providing me a free upgrade, but I still need to pack and ship it.

If you have already checked Amazon with no luck, I would try a co. Called TSI Radio. Or TSS Radio. Forgot which it is. Also EBay. I hope this helps.

For BP330 - I am currently running the ver BD7.930.00/Date:2013.09.09 firmware update and no Amazon Prime. Purchased unit yesterday and returning today.

You're right! I noticed this as well and notified RCA/Audiovox after the update and they promised to check the firmware. It *is* an issue that they need to address it. The AM radio (which actually is a good receiver as portables go) will appear broken to many if they do not! BTW, despite these little glitches, this is still a killer product IMO.

As of today (Oct 26, 2014) After over 4 hours of forum reading and googling about, I can find no information leading me to believe this router will ever have a full implementation of any open source packages worth your time to install. The manufacture of the radio package (that rather important wireless bit) used in this router has refused to release the information needed by those that do the (free) work to make control of the radio possible. Without that control, what good is all the rest? I did see evidence of individuals working on reverse engineering the radio from other similar units, but then that wasn't the point. Marketing Fail over at Linksys it seems... Glad I googled a bit before I clicked. This was the best current option but not with the stock firmware it's clear.

We do not monitor Amazon Q&As; on a regular basis, so if you happen to have a question please contact us and we'll be happy to help!Just so you are aware, along with the aforementioned we also use improved capacitors, inductors & crystals in our SDR units to improve performance.

I have to update the firmware first to v6. I got the firmware from AVS Forum. The firmware on the iView site is v3 despite it says v6. Then I only change the signal type to "cable" and let it do a full scan. You will get the clear QAM channels, the un-encrypted channels. I got all the channels available, including music and radio channels.

Mine is on order! I can chime in by next weekend. I purchased the HD Tuner, the Sirius adapter + Sirius Connect, and the iPod cable. These Amazon prices are amazing for this gear. I have a 5th gen iPod (80gb) that I plan on using with this. One question I will be looking for is the Nav input. I guess it will show GPS info from an external unit but the info is scarce... only mentioned in the manual.

Hi there. I just received the older version of this. I called Amazon and asked if they had the new version with Clear-QAM. They replied that they did, and all I had to do was return the one I received. I'll let you know if I get the newer hardware revision as soon as it shows up. JohnUpdate: I just received an email from Amazon saying they don't have the new version in stock.

I just ordered and received this radio from this vendor. My radio came with V1.04 firmware which, yes, includes the 2.5 kHz step.

I like it very much. If you have any questions about it, just let me know. The do post firmware upgrades frequently. I had upgraded to the latest, but had to roll back as there was a bug in that update where it quit playing my protected wma files. I put an issue in their bug tracker and they said they'd resolve the issue soon. But I really haven't found the need to upgrade the firmware anyway.

Update? Sorry, the original firmware is about the only one you are ever going to see. Don't expect much from this manufacturer.

It appears that Beltronics radar detectors may have firmware updates. However, from what i found out, you may have to send your unit to Beltronics to have the firmware update installed. See the following link: http://www.buyradardetectors.com/blog/200/04/radar_detector_firmware_versions.aspx

Actually very good question. I got two radios, one UV-5R+ and one UV-5R. The UV-5R+ is version BFB293; the UV-5R is version BFB295. Seems like the older radio as the latest firmware...To check the firmware on your radio: turn it off; press 3 and hold while turning it on. Wait 2 seconds and you will see the radio firmware as BFB***.

The one I ordered only receives AM and FM no aviation band. Kaito may have other radios that do.

one i got from amazon was 1.2.1 but latest version is 1.1.1(2 antennas, gimbal lever and futaba ready) weird that a lower number is latest one but I now have both (1.2.1 and 1.1.1) and I can assure you the 1.1.1 is newer version.Double checked this fact with several dealers nationally and internationally as well. I'm returning the 1.2.1.
