Does anyone know of an online dealer that would be able to send or sell me the firmware update for the F50V? My closest dealer is 2 hours away and they are closed when I am off work.

I received several emails from various Icom dealers today. Every dealer has stated that they can't help me with updating the firmware and that Icom has discontinued support for the radio. I was even told that it would need a higher firmware update for the MDC1200 to work. Even the closest...

I got a sneaky suspicion that it probably has something to do with the firmware. However, I am going to try to find an online dealer with version 3.2 for sale. If that doesn't fix the mdc problem, I will have to see if I can find a dealer that is open on the weekends. I wish I could mail it...

My software revision is 3.4 so I wonder if that is why the radio doesn't save the mdc settings. Maybe I need to try to find the revision 1 software. I can program the mdc and it uploads it to the radio just fine however it doesn't save it in the radio. I know that doesn't make sense. When I...

Thanks for checking. Well at least I know that I can use 2.2 to hopefully get it up to par since mine doesn't have the keypad. I also received a reply from an Icom dealer about getting the firmware: "Erich, I am told by Icom Tech Support that the firmware on your radio cannot be "field...

On mine I press and hold the P3 and the button just below the PTT while turning it on. In the software it shows up when you click the clone information button or Top Menu > Clone > Information.

Ok great! I appreciate you taking the time to help Rick.

Good point Rick. I mainly use the radio in a commercial application so if I were to upgrade the firmware and it locks it in NFM, I'm not that concerned since I do have a few ht's laying around for 2m. The only main reason why I would upgrade the firmware is to get the MDC1200 to work. After...

Please Help I'm going to try one last time and ask for help. Does anyone have a UV-5001 Generation 2 chirp image I can try and use to bring this paperweight back to life? Otherwise I'm gonna chuck this thing in the trash since BTech is of no help and basically have ignored my requests for...

I recently bought an IC-F3021S radio off of ebay with Revision 1.0 and was wondering if I upgrade the firmware, will it disable wideband use for 2m? It currently does wideband without any problems and I have read on some sites that upgrading the firmware will lock it to narrowband only. If...

Still nothing... Well, I became desperate and bought the RT Systems software and cable. I tried to reprogram the radio with no success. I guess CHIRP really screwed something up in the radio. Does anyone have any ideas or any kind of images(CHIRP, RT Systems, Factory Software) I could try...

I had forgotten about that and I just tried that with no luck. :(

I'll even try a current working chirp image if anyone would be willing to share the file. I have had no success on getting an original chirp file from Baofeng Tech either so I am willing to try anything at this point.

I was wondering if anyone had an original chirp image for a Baofeng Tech UV-5001 Generation 2 with firmware BTG214. I seem to have the same problem as some of the ht issues of the image getting corrupted when being uploaded to the radio. I can only hear an audio transmission when I press the...
