There are four different Software installations. Each one must be followed carefully. Installing the
wrong type software may cause difficulties. Check your radio before installing software to be sure
which updates are needed.
If multiple software installations are required the MAIN software should be installed first, as it is the
only one that requires a hard reset (FAST+LOCK).
The latest versions are listed below with the release dates.
MAIN Software Version 0111 (7/28/10)
Edsp Software Version 0529 (12/17/10)
