Upgraded both firmware just a minute ago,easy as pie.

Does it matter what upgrade you do first? Also there no directions with them as the last update had?

 

[Astrak]

Is there anything that needs to be turned on in Global settings or F Global settings to turn patch following on/off?

No. It's always "on".

I did the CPU last..worked fine

 

[joetnymedic]

i just did both. it was easy, but I don't notice any difference. never had the mirror deal either. Lets see how it is over the long haul

Nevermind solved it.

Bonus!

I'm shocked at how fast they rolled it out this time. No complaints (imagine that )

Thank you GRE & RS.

PS - I would do the CPU first. They must have upgraded the CPU to support the new 1.8 firmware, no? Maybe not, but that is how I did it.

I did the cpu first all went fine then tried the DSP but when i turn it on and put it in SW Upgrade its saying wait for PC/IF. Getting no response from scanner.

The "wait for PC/IF" sounds correct, if you've already performed step #3 in the upgrade app but haven't yet clicked the "UPDATE" button.

Are you following the upgrade app's instructions exactly, in sequence?

Here's what you should be doing:
1. Scanner powered up in its "normal operating mode", USB cable connected
2. Run DSP Update app
3. Select COM port and click "TEST" button
(app should indicate current scanner DSP version and prompt you)
4. Click the "Yes" button
5. Turn the scanner OFF
6. Turn the scanner ON and, while the "welcome message" is displayed, press
0 then PGM then ENTER
(now the scanner should be displaying "Wait for PC/IF")
7. In the PC app, click the "UPDATE" button

The GRE site states that the CPU update should be installed first and then the CPU update. I would think that those instructions still hold true and apply equally to the RS radios.

I believe you meant DSP for the 2nd one.

Don't the upgrade notes tell what the fixes are fo rthe release? Wasn't sure. I haven't downloaded the newest yet, but the past upgrades showed the fix information!
