Hi,
When I upgraded from 1.02 to 1.04, when I reset the rig, everything went
back to factory defaults. I did the upgrade without any sighted assistance.

Kevin,
Just curious: Did you use JAWS to do the firmware update? Also, is
there a way to determine current firmware version without sighted help
(either from the radio or via software)?
I'm on my own here and sighted help isn't a practicle option. I'd
like to find my current firmware, but don't want to get hosed in the
process.
