Hytera PD782G Updated Firmware Access?

[AZShane]

Hello,
I'm a new Hytera PD782G user. I'm looking for the latest Firnware for this radio (radio at 4.01)- 4.5 is what I see on Hytera web site. I attempted to register with Hytera US site, but the site replies that I already have an account, which I don't. I attempt to have it return a password reset, then I get status that my user name is not registered... SO, of the dealers on this list, how do I go about acquiring my own copy of the firmware to update my radio? I know the version of firmware in the radio does not exchange text messages with MOTO TRBO radios, as I attempted to do so many times Saturday afternoon and evening.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Shane

To All,
I want to make it perfectly clear I'm looking for legitimate access to the firmware- whether that be by local radio dealer (of which I don't know of- here in the Phoenix, AZ metro area), or by purchasing a firmware upgrade package directly from HyteraUS. I'm a Ham here in Arizona and am intending on acquiring multiple radios, and would like to be able to service them myself.

Regards,
Shane

Thought i may revive an old thread. I recently got a PD782G and i too would like to legitimately upgrade the firmware in my unit. Did a quick google search and found a dealer in Nevada and am waiting on a reply from him.

on another forum there is NX7R in Nevada, near Las Vegas who is a hytera dealer, would do you well to get with him.

I believe i was able to get a hold of him about a month ago and paid to have my 2 units firmware upgraded.
Nice fellow to work with and i will probably do more business with him.

I found for my Hytera some new Firmware on a Amateur Radio website.
Dealers would charge me a lot of money for that.

I did a google search for firmware prior to buying it. Being a former 2-way tech i know how easy it is to brick a radio and i would prefer to not do that. Guess i just dont trust random sites that i can google and get software from. Purchased my firmware and upgraded successfully.

To be fair, the dealer did tell me that had i purchased the radio from him the firmware would have been free. I find this fair as i got the radio from another source so i didnt mind paying for it. I also think he gave me a discount if im not mistaken. Either way i felt it was a trusted source for the firmware.

My dealer dident replay my Mails but I saved ~200€ per Radio.

Not sure if this is still relevant, but I too am a Hytera dealer here in Las Vegas and can perform firmware updates for a minimal charge . . .

Do you have to pay for FW really?
We got it in Europe always free if we do the update alone. Only if the dealer has to do it it costs something.
