updating M models

K3SF

The flex M model originally came with V2 ssdr. They also downloaded any V2 version updates with out any prompting by the user... they just magically appeared in the list.


SO
What is the process/procedure to update M models to ssdr V3?

How and When does one pay for the update and how does the radio know to download and update to V3.

Thanks

Not to worry.  I have a 6600M that came with V1 software.  When V2 software became available, I was prompted in detail by the screen on the radio.  Took less than 10 minutes with no issues.

Paul - Yes, v2.xx updates will appear on your screen automatically for download.  As for V3.  Unless you have an agreement for a free upgrade to V3, you will have the option to purchase V3 via an online payment when it becomes available (current estimates are mid-April time frame).  Once V3 is purchased you'll be able to download it from the FRS website, then as they become available, v3.xx upgrades will automatically appear.

I'll have a video up by Monday or so that will show this.

But, have a look at the FAQ's on the main web site for now.  

More to come, Mike

This upgrade process works great.  In alpha testing, even the upgrade fulfillment process is tested by the team.
