Automatic Version Upgrade Prompting
When a configuration is downloaded to the Transceiver, the Programmer performs a brief check on the SW
currently installed in the radio. If a later version of SW exists (on PC hard disk) then the Programmer will
prompt the user with the following message:
NOTE. As early versions of FPP cannot recognise a more recent revision of the radio, it is important that the
latest FPP version is downloaded from http://www.tmcradio.com
If YES is selected, the Transceiver Radio code is updated before the new configuration is downloaded.
If NO is selected, only the configuration is downloaded.
It is strongly recommended to select “Yes” when this message is shown.
This process also updates the Start-up code to ensure it is compatible with the loaded PMR or Trunk code.
Note: If the …\StandardFPP\RadioSW folder contains no files, then the above check will not be performed.
