Dear IC-7800 owners,
Thank you very much for supporting
Icom and IC-7800 HF/50MHz transceiver.
We hope you are enjoying DXing with your IC-7800.
This bulletin is to announce the free upgrading service of the IC-7800
firmware. One of the improvements obtained with this upgrading, will be
an improved noise blanker and low band performance.
We are planning to upload the updated firmware on our support website
very soon, so that you can download the latest firmware and upgrade the
IC-7800 by yourself.
It is not necessary for you to send your IC-7800 back to your Icom
dealer, Icom Distributor, or Icom directly. All of the IC-7800s exported
to overseas markets*1 are able
to be upgrades by downloading latest firmware from the Internet.
- *1: Except the following serial numbers.
It is necessary to make a hardware improvement to add the firmware
upgrading capability: 0201001, 0201002, 0201003, 0201004, 0201009,
0201011, 0201015, 0201018, and 0201021.
We are now preparing the firmware upgrade website, and its completion is
scheduled as follows:
- a) The release of a simple firmware upgrade to add a
screensaver, "@" mark in CW message memory etc. around the end of
July 2004.
b) A major firmware upgrade package to upgrade the noise
blanker and low band performance among other improvements, will be
available around the end of August 2004.
Updating procedure documents will be also released with firmware at the
same time.
We are planning to supply upgrading firmware continuously in the future,
so that owners can enjoy the IC-7800 with latest functions and
performance available all the time. Thank you again for your continuous
support of ICOM and the IC-7800.
