These are the only new ones, correct? His post above yours confused me because 5.01 for the regular 5000 series came out months ago.

5.01 software came out months ago. FW just came out yesterday.

OK yes I see the difference now. Misread that November post.

Logged into my account this morning to track some orders and found new firmware and software.

 

[03msc]

Nice. Per usual, I assume they don't address what changes were made though?

 

[fire_master_21]

That assumption would be correct.

 

[kd4efm]

S_5.12 - nx5000s; S series

I know they don't have release notes, but any idea if this fixes the mute on startup issue?

Good question, I am not sure, let me know when you get a chance to update and see if it still hangs on that dmr issue we have been talking about over email.

5.12 addresses issues around:

• TX led issues when DMR site roaming
• Motorola P25 Phase2 voice interop
• DMR busy channel lockout
• compatibility issues when receiving SDM

Btw, anyone else notice that new NX1200/1300 are showing up with fw 2.15, but the newest on the web site is 2.14?

For the love of God, can we please get an option where the display turns on when there is carrier / conversation detected? Green light on, display lit.

From what I've been told, the 2.15 firmware is a special version that is to be used only on specific NX-1300s. Applying this firmware to radios not on the list can cause operational problems with the radio.

Product Bulletin P23-A-09LM, issued Aug 15, 2023, discusses Service Bulletin LSB-0377, which discusses the update. Service Bulletin LSB-0378 describes the change that caused the issue.

On the face of the box with the serial number label, the ones with updated (D2.15) firmware have a "6" stamped at the upper-right corner. Recent ones that do not need the update have a "5" stamp instead. If there is no stamp, it probably has x2.14.00 and you should consult the list of serial numbers to see if it needs x2.15.00. Apparently, you have to contact support to get it; they want to make sure it doesn't get used on older hardware.

Just sayin'-every radio we've gotten over the last couple of months has had 2.15 in it. And that's at least a hundred radios.
