Install_BC_VUP_v2.0.0.6.exe

I'm having an odd problem. I downloaded the updater and the firmware from the links in your mediawiki page. When I try to install the updater, it installs version 2.0.0.3. I searched my system and deleted the .msi file for the version 2.0.0.3 installer, but the "2.0.0.6" installer actually installs 2.0.0.3. (?) I'm not sure how to proceed.

[UPMan]

Hmmm. I don't know what would cause that, either. However, the update is installable with 2.0.0.3, too.

UPDATE

Make sure you delete any copies of the "BCSS" directory before installing. In some cases, the computer will use an old copy of the installer if that directory is there.

 

[MarkWestin]

I was able to install the update with no problem.

Upman i am looking and it only shows DND and the rabanding support but nothing about the
RSSI Reporting Improvements. Is that included but not listed

 

[UPMan]

It is listed and included. There are no instructions for RSSI (it just improves an existing function).

UPDATE
Sorry, I got my threads confused. RSSI improvement is not included in this update (the BC246T's hardware doesn't support it). That is why it isn't in the release notes.

Update applied to my 246t...no issues and it was very easy

Just wondering what is the command to bring up RSSI? PWR returns ERR.

 

[TongSlinger]

Just updated the 246. Worked first time no problem.

It is listed and included. There are no instructions for RSSI (it just improves an existing function).

Well, color me confused. There are no references to RSSI in either the BC246T update 2.60 release notes or the BC246T serial protocol reference.

 

[Chris-KH2PM]

Updated to latest firmware with no problems. Thanks UPMan/Uniden!

 

[UPMan]

Well, color me confused. There are no references to RSSI in either the BC246T update 2.60 release notes or the BC246T serial protocol reference.

Sorry, Slicer, I had my threads confused. I've amended my previous answer...no RSSI in the BC246T (the hardware doesn't support it).

 

[peepoop]

Went smoothly for me.

The copyright notice on bootup still says 2004 though.

 

[UPMan]

Most of the code is from 2004...so we can claim copyright protection back to then.

For developers, I just attached the revised Remote Control spec to the release notes.

Sorry, Slicer, I had my threads confused. I've amended my previous answer...no RSSI in the BC246T (the hardware doesn't support it).

thanks Upman for the info but how come it said it was included in the email sent back in august

 

[UPMan]

It was an error.

 

[ME343]

ok thank you dnd works great

 

[CLTX11]

Got everything squared away as well without any problems.

Yes the DND CC is something that will help out, I hated using CC-Scan because you would miss address's etc.

Thanks for the heads up on the update!

 

[cpuerror]

Are there any plans to add the Jump feature to this model?

 

[w9zro]

is it normal to have to delete and reprogram a system to take the custom tables or can you just modify it??? Askin cause I really dont want to enter everything by hand AGAIN
thanks in advance
