1. Subject
Software upgrading
2. Objective Equipment
JSB-196/JSB-196GM Radio Telephone of the following Serial Number at software version 3.6 or
earlier.
(JSB-196GM-R (JSB-196GM for NCH-1961/1962) is not an object)
Serial Number: BS53500-BS58107
Note: If the software of NCT-196N and NDZ-127J are following versions, upgrade them.
NCT-196N: IC2 Ver2.11 or earlier, IC204 Ver2.11 or earlier, IC402 Ver2.11 or earlier,
IC407 Ver2.10 or earlier
NDZ-127J: U28 Ver2.10 or earlier
3. Outlines
Problem:
• Transmission of Mark signal may be missed if high-speed MORSE communication is performed in
CW mode.
• An audio output will become small if the NOISE REDUCTION is turned ON.
• SQUELCH may remain closing on a receiving level, since the step of SQUELCH level is large.
Countermeasure:
Upgrade the software according to attached document “JSB-196/GM Upgrading procedures (JD-
1301-04)”. Moreover, replacement of ROM and parts on TRX UNIT (CMN-1960/CMN-1960-S) are also
required. Therefore get the following Modification kit from the SERVICE GROUP (PARTS TEAM) of
MARINE SERVICE DEPARTMENT and replace them.
Modification Kit (JRC code: 7DEJD0319)
Contents: ROM 7DEJD0289C (DSP ROM Ver1.7) 1 piece
Capacitor ECEA1EKS4R7 (4.7uF, 25V) 1 piece
Resistor ERJ6GEYJ224V (220k ohm (2012 chip)) 1 piece
