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)

There's a "T" and an "E" version. I have the "T" version (USA). The "E" version is for Europe.
Roger i have T version also.Updated new fw for T but no luck for nxdn.
I can listen same freq. with Uniden bcd325 and dn160 clearly but with Alinco still nothing.

Thanks dsankir!

Main main PC still doesn't like the scanner (AMD CPU) , but parallels on my macbook did the trick.
Ran the upgrade, which went fine (see caveats below).

  • The hidden code (sqrt[2]) to enable POCSAG is now gone in the E-Model
  • All DMR channels where changed to NXDN(N) mode
  • All dPMR channels to NFM
  • ACARS,NFM,AM,D-STAR remained as is/was
  • CTCSS was also untouched

CSV Export does not include the bank information...

I definitely need better programming software for this unit !

Can someone confirm that newest firmware for E-Version works properly with original ALINCO program software? Especially Scan Banks and Bank linking? (Win11)
Many thanks.

Works on my Win10 Desktop and Win11 inside Parallels
Scanner is not recognized on my Windows Desktop with AMD processor, so xfer is done on the Mac

Same here: reading from scanner shows correct DMR on DMR channels in Edit Tool Ver. 1.0E but in the scanner same channel is switched to NXDN. That sucks!
Any solution? Has anyone contacted Alinco in Japan regarding this problem?

Did you update the firmware? Alinco said that updating the firmware will reset / alter settings so channels will be on the wrong setting until you import again.

Always make a backup first with the EditTool before updating firmware :)

For me the edit tool didn't work prior the firmware update...
And you still have an English Menu or is it in Japanese now? Sorry… this doesn’t look professional for me. I’ll try 4.00-04 for the E-Version later and when there’s any issue with wrong mudulation or wrong language the device will go back to the dealer.

After installing the latest version for European equipment, I have the menu which remains in English.
