Is there a new version of the tmv71a  firmware?  Or, what is the 
latest version out there?
On an unrelated matter, I wonder if anyone on the list has any 
recordings of the music ID's from some of the shortwave stations 
such as Radio Moscow, France International, South Africa and 
such.  or are those things archived online somewhere? I remember 
listening to those ID's before the stations started their 
broadcasts of news.  73, Jim

Darren,

If your radio is new, you've already got the latest firmware.  
However, if
you really need to update the firmware, it's easy to do even if 
you're
totally blind.

First, you need to have the programming cable, which needs to be 
connected
to your radio and your PC.  Then, go to the Kenwood download site 
and get
the latest firmware, which comes in a Zip file.  Save the file to 
your
computer, open it, and extract the files inside.  One of them is 
the
executable you run to update the firmware.  The other file is a 
set of
instructions on how to do the update.  As long as your radio and 
your PC are
talking to each other, the update will be quite smooth.

Steve

 Hi guys.  I want to update my firmware but I'm not sure how to 
do it.  Is it
 safe? Can it be done by a blind person? I just got this rig and 
do not
 want
 to mess it up!
