What Am I missing?

OK, I downloaded the firmware to my desktop. What program do I use to upload it to the radio?

No other software needed, but you need to have communication from your PC to your scanner through the USB scanner cable that came with your scanner. Read the instructions that came with the download and then double click GRE CPU Icon and follow the onscreen instructions.

I have communication, I just downloaded V-folders to the radio. I click the "open" box on the download window, it downloads, then disappears. No instructions, nothing. When I saved to my desktop, I double-clicked on the file, and nothing happens.

I must not be getting the whole file. The download dialogue box says "CPU500600_U13.1.2D0D17.efw"

I'm not the best one to answer your question, but you need to unzip the downloaded software with a program such as "winzip". I just downloaded the update to my scanner and it went pretty well.

Turn the scanner on and press 3 immediately to see firmware version. if it doesn.t read: uP Appl Ver: U1.3 , then you need to download the file from GRE website v1.3 and save it and open it and follow the instructions closely.

Ok, for the above versions download and install the PSR-500/600 CPU Firmware version F1.3 first. Then download and install PSR-500/600 DSP version F1.2
Be sure to follow the instructions closely as the steps are a little different from CPU to DSP
installations. After you are done the screen should read:

uP Appl Ver: U1.3
DSP App Ver: U1.2
DSP Voc Ver: F1.0

Just make sure you have the COMM port number your computer is using for the USB programming cable because the instructions require that you select the COMM port number during the installation. Good Luck!!

well as far as the new downloads, it says in the Owner's Manual on page 90 to Hold PGM while powering on radio. Places radio in CPU firmware upgrade mode. do i need to this before the new Downloads. thank you.

When you run the upgrader program from the GRE America web site, it will give you step-by-step instructions
