FTDX5000 Software Update and Version
Identification
There are four different Software installations. Each one must be followed carefully. Installing the
wrong type software may cause difficulties. Check your radio before installing software to be sure
which updates are needed.
If multiple software installations are required the MAIN Software should be installed last, as it is the
only one that requires a hard reset (FAST+LOCK).
The latest versions are listed below.
• MAIN Software Version 0106.
• EDSP Software Version 0515.
• OEL (OLED) Software Version 0110.
• SM-5000 Software Version 0107.
• DMU-2000 Software Version (Option): Please refer to the DMU-2000 update information on our
website.
Implements improvements
• Ver. 0106, V0110 and V0107 are engineering issues.
• Ver. 0515 corrects a popping noise in the speech processor.
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
