I encountered an issue in attempting to upgrade firmware to V1.10 USA.
My USA ICOM IC-R8600 had V1.02 factory installed. I downloaded both the USA and non-USA versions from ICOM's firmware update web site, links as follow (USA and non-USA respectively):
Firmware Updates / Software Downloads | Support | Icom Inc
Firmware Updates / Software Downloads | Support | Icom Inc
I am able to update to V1.10 non-USA with no issue; on reboot receiver indicates V1.10. I am not able to update with V1.10 USA, receive an "Invalid data" message when I select the .dat file on the IC-R8600 firmware update screen. This occurs if I attempt to update from either V1.02 or from non-USA V1.10. From ICOM firmware site, I noticed V1.01 and V1.02 were common for all markets. The V1.10 is the first that is indicated for different markets.
I reformatted the SDHC card in the receiver, did a fresh download of V1.10 USA from the ICOM web site, unzipped the firmware file, and loaded the .dat file in the IC-R8600 folder on the SDHC memory card (root level in the IC-R8600 folder). Still received "invalid data" message when I attempt to upgrade the firmware.
Has anyone else experienced success in updating to V1.10 USA or encountered a similar issue?
