There is new firmware (CPU 1.9) out for the Pro-106/197.

Good find, Dan!
...but a real YAWNER of an update from Radio Shack:
"Pressing the ATT key during scanning while on a CONV object causes the object to
be stored to EEPROM immediately. This eliminates the possibility of the ATT status
change being lost due to a Priority check."
Apparently that's all there is to this firmware upgrade. I'll pass...

This isn't an earthshaking update but why not have you radio as current as possible? If someone skips some updates, can you install something later on after not installing this one? I would think they all need to be entered as they are released.

I just don't want to risk bricking my radio in the firmware upgrade for ONE feature that I will never use. There needs to be a LOT more meat on the bone to entice me to upgrade the firmware, otherwise it's useless to me.
But, that's just me. I can certainly understand it when people want to keep their equipment as current as possible...
BTW, when you do a firmware upgrade, all code written to the EEPROM is deleted and replaced. So, there's no need to worry about making sure you're getting everything in the right sequential order...

Yes, Win500 works perfectly; both downloading & uploading.
I can't update mine. The program doesn't recognize my radio on Com 1. Win500 works just fine though. It may be that I am running Win 8.
Thank you. I'll try it tomorrow or Thurs. Are you talking abouty the mono extender? I don't have it hooked up. I also tried it in Windows 7 and it did the same thing.I had the same problem but then I removed the extender from my cable and it worked fine. I have the older one with the orange box in the middle.
