To install, unzip the above linked file. Then, copy the appropriate file (based on name) to the scanner's firmware directory.

Release Notes:
1. Modified the TGID check method on voice channel grants for DMR systems
2. Modified the voice channel termination method for P16 systems
3. Changed the operation of squelch backlight control
4. Fixed several minor bugs

did it successfully update, i just did it for the SDS and it changed

Based on past updates, i am going to say no
In the past, it said something to the effect of successful and changed in settings

I did double check scanner sd, .bin file is there in firmware dir

Once a new firmware file is installed, it disappears from that directory. The fact that it's still there (along with the error message) says there was a problem installing it.

I would suggest you try downloading, unzipping, and copying it over again.

You probably loaded the wrong version, as I did initially. The firmware download includes two separate files - one for the 436hp and one for the 536 hp. If you do not load the correct file for the scanner, it will still display version 23. Go back and make sure you pulled the correct file for whichever scanner you are updating.

Beta firmware installed painlessly on my 436 and 536.

I love the "Open Squelch" backlight display option! Thanks Uniden!

Best words of advice if you radio is not having any issues for now do not open the can of worms on your radio.


Wait on any firmware upgrades until fully tested and released. Play at your own risk
