WOW, that was fast! Did you send it in on Friday when they announced it or was it already there for something else perhaps?

Also, I understand that the Evo 7 might be easier to do because they, unfortunately, can not port over the model memories.

Great!

My Tx was received at Hitec Tuesday, so it might be at my door tomorrow. To bad I'll be driving to the Blue Sky's Over New Mexico DLG contest tomorrow and won't be back till Monday

Oh well. At least I'll get to play with it when I get back

CAT Power · Jun 05, 2009, 07:55 PM

Yea.... I had it there for a switch change out...

Mr._Mulligan · Jun 06, 2009, 01:10 PM

Can someone tell me if I understand the upgrade correctly? So, in addition to the firmware upgrade, my existing HFM-S synth module will be replaced with a new one, but my scanner module will no longer be operable? Is that correct?

There is so much 35 MHz and 40 MHz info mixed with a sprinkling of 72 MHz, that it is difficult to tell what applies to what.

For USA customers, there will be no hardware changes, only firmware/software. You will still have your current frequency module and the scanner will still work. We will not have PCM capabilities here in the states.

Mr._Mulligan · Jun 06, 2009, 07:27 PM

OK, thanks for the clarification.

What happens to an Evo 7 ... does it become fully functional or does it still have reduced capability?

vhoward1122 · Jun 07, 2009, 12:08 PM

It will have the full functions of the other Evo's. They just can't convert your model memories to the new format. You will have to reprogram each model.

Klogg96 · Jun 08, 2009, 12:30 AM

Sweet ... thats what I want to hear ... one evo 7 and evo 9 to be upgraded please ...

Thanks Multiplex ... it is great to offer the upgrade.

Are the better antennas available here? I also may have missed this in an earlier post, are the 3 way switches now true three way? Thanks

The Evo 7 will still be somewhat more limited than the 9 or 12. Because of the configuration, when it is updated to the latest firmware, all of your model memory when be set to default. No way to convert it to the new format.

FWIW, I just recvd mine back today. It took about a week for the entire trip and update, but the radio never left the state of CA

Was there an answer on the limitations of the EVo 7? Would like to know before sending mine in for upgrade
