selected and "Change Baud Rate" is NOT selected (leaving baud rate at the current value has
proven more reliable).
12. If desired, select "Retrieve/Restore Configuration" to set the utility to query the radio's current
configuration and restore it after the upgrade. This is needed when jumping several revisions
of the firmware since some parameter locations could have changed setting parameters to
their defaults upon upgrade.
13. Optionally, you may click "Get Configuration" to download the radio's settings to a text file you

14. Optionally, you may click "Set Configuration" to upload the radio's settings from a text file
similarly.
15. When ready to upgrade the firmware, click "Upgrade Firmware".
The upgrade process goes through several steps, providing feedback in the bottom status bar as it

image, and upgrading the DSP image. The whole process can take 5 to 10 minutes.
