Hello all, I have a VHF 5061 and was wondering if anyone out there had a firmware upgrade i could use newer than version 2.0. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

I think that you need to send it to Icom to have the firmware updated.

You don't need to send it in to Icom. You can upgrade 1.x radios to 2.x firmware using the regular firmware utility. Latest firmware is 2.8, latest software is 2.6 (latest software is also required so the features match up).

Anyone know the upgrades from 2.0 to 2.8 and does anyone have version 2.8 that i can have?

Contact a dealer. Don't be surprised if they don't want to help if you didn't buy from them, but someone may help you. Should be free, don't let them charge you.

Ok. Think it may be online somewhere?
