Steve, I did the upgrade the other day from 02 to 04 and I don't think you
can find the version without sighted help. Jaw's did not say what was on
the screen when turning the rig on and holding the up button in. My X Y L
had to tell me what it said on the screen on the radio. sorry for a
probably poor discription. 73
