yes, I have it, but lets see if you reply to this message first as it looks like your just another fly-by-night user wanting free software what I call a (1 post freeloader)
Hi SirJ
I am not going to deny the fact that you might be right; I am looking for the firmware to update my F80T.
I am in Australia and bought a F80 and F2810 from a local auction house after the US Embassy in Canberra offloaded all their spare/reserve units, mine was a spare for Mexico City. About 300 units have been reset to default values with no programming at all, the frequencies are easy enough to redo as I have the programming software and *icf files.
As they sat around for a long time never being used, the firmware has never been updated. What has caught many people out in Australia is the working radio bands, we use UHF 80 channels around the 476-478 range, many of the radios are not capable of supporting that range, some are. There are some very upset buyers. I am semi ok as I have them working but like most IT/techo people I want to upgrade firmware to the best/most recent version. The local dealers are unable to help as they have no knowledge of this unit and possibly have no access to firmware because they never sold this unit.
Hopefully you can see enough of a reason to help, in turn I will be able to help many others that may need programing.
Thank you in advance.
