You can check the firmware version levels by pressing '3' while the scanner's powerup Welcome Message is displayed.

A sample output (Latest versions shown):

uP App Ver: RF2.1
DSP AppVer: RF1.4
DSP VocVer: RF1.0

CPU 2.1 Upgrade

Discussion thread: here

CPU 2.1 fixes

Fixed Marine, VHF, and UHF search frequencies

CPU 2.0 Upgrade

Discussion thread: here

CPU 2.0 fixes

Pressing the ATT key during scanning while on a CONV object causes the object

to be stored to EEPROM immediately. This eliminates the possibility of the ATT status change being lost due to a Priority check.

Changed 154-156MHz range to accommodate Marine channels

Added duplicate checking to conventional channels created via PGM NEW CONV

CPU 1.9 Upgrade

Discussion thread: here

CPU 1.9 fixes

Pressing the ATT key during scanning while on a CONV object causes the object to be stored to EEPROM immediately. This eliminates the possibility of the ATT status change being lost due to a Priority check

CPU 1.8 and DSP 1.4 Upgrades

Discussion thread: here

CPU 1.8 fixes

Adds patch support for P25, Motorola and EDACS trunking
Changes CCDump type string to "EDn" if "narrow invert" is turned on
Corrects LCD “mirror image” issue

DSP 1.4 fixes
