PEP950
This procedure is used to update Main CPU Ver. 0112 and EDSP Ver. 11.54 the
flash programming for the FT-950 Transceivers.
We recommend installing the Flash Programming Software on a PC computer with Windows 2000,
XP or Vista Operating System; and use the serial cable RS-232C, DB9F to DB9F straight cable.
NOTE: There are many USB adapters available; however some may not function with this software.
We recommend using the latest USB adapter driver software when available.
The software versions can be displayed on the radio
While holding the three buttons [GEN][50][ENT] turn the radio on. The software version will be
displayed in the VFO-A window for 5 seconds then the radio will start up in normal operation.
See below:
Example EDSP V11.53 and MAIN V1.12 software version.
*If you already have
EDSP V11.54 and MAIN V0112 software versions, it is not necessary to update the FT-
950 again.
Ver. 0112 MAIN CPU implements improvements (also includes all previous updates):
The FH-2 [
<-][->] keys are made to increment the frequency at 100kHz up or down.
Correct the CW Auto Mode.
DMU Band scope Display Signal Peak Frequency is centered.
Ver. 11.54 EDSP implements improvements (also includes all previous updates):
Corrected FM TX for a slight frequency offset.
NOTES:
*Rotate the [METER] switch to select “COM” (Compression). We recommend setting the PROC level within the 5dB
to 10dB range.
*When menu settings are saved on the DMU-2000 CF card and transferred to the new version, some previous versions
may not transfer correctly. Please check your menu, update the settings, and then save the new settings to the CF card.
The software updates will work with all versions (AF, AS, EU, NA, OC, SA or all Countries) of the FT-950.
