Download the Firmware update and the Firmware Update
Program. Put them in a directory that will be easy to get to.

"Firmware Update"
Set up the following command:
update firmware.ENC -COMx -115200
where firmware.ENC is the actual name of the firmware
file and
x is the actual COM port in use.
For example if the firmware update file is
“MFJ-226V01R02.ENC” and the MFJ-226 is connected
to COM3 then enter:
“update MFJ-226V01R02.ENC –COM3 -115200”
The program will start, indicate the progress, then tell you
when it is finished.
The MFJ-226 will power off and you can disconnect the cable
and close the DOS box.
