Icom has released updates for its latest range of Amateur radios. The updates are available for the IC-705, IC-7300 and IC-9700 SDR transceivers.
The updates are as follows:
IC-705 Firmware Update (Version 1.26)
Changes from Version 1.24
• When in the Centre mode of the Spectrum scope screen, the REF level setting has been updated so that it does not reflect the scope waveform during transmission.
• This firmware update (version 1.26) has been improved, so it will not reset settings and memories.
• If the firmware is updated from version 1.24 or earlier, the settings and memories are not reset. However, if the firmware is reverted to 1.26 from a later version (after 1.26), the settings and memories may be reset.
