New firmware upgrade for ICOM IDAS radios
Part of our plan in helping others do what they do best is keeping you up to date on items of interest. ICOM, one of our premier marketing partners, has a similar goal and one of their really great ideas for 2010 is a program called "Did you Know"?

We thought the first release was worth sharing. It deals with a firmware programming upgrade that significantly enhances the operating features of the IDAS family mobile and portable radios.

Without going into detail, let us just say for now that this new feature essentially provides automatic analog/digital talk-back capability to match the received transmission. If the originating radio is talking in the analog mode, the F3161/4161 portable or F5060/6060 mobile responds in the analog mode. If the incoming signal is digital, the receiving radio responds in the digital mode. No user switching is required. NICE feature! Additional information is available at www.info4u.us/DidUKnow1.pdf.

Self servicing users can download the firmware and modify current units at no charge. Those that do not have service/programming capability, we can provide this upgrade for you for a cost of $35 for the first radio and $10 for each additional. Call us at 205.854.2611 for more information.
