Yes, this is the new firmware update. It comes with its own programming software. I don't know of any third party programming software available. Supposedly RT Systems may come out with their own.
Major changes:
Removed DCR mode from both E and T models.
NXDN(N) and (VN) modes are added.
Minor correction to AM sensitivity
FM radio step corrected to 100kHz (T-version only)
