UPGRDING FIRMWARE VERSION V1_0_04 AND NEWER
Note -- once you’ve updated your radio to V1_0_04 firmware and newer, the old-version update instructions
will no longer apply.
Terminal Program Setup Using TeraTerm:
[ ] Plug in the programming cable to the computer.
Note that there are two versions of the X5105 program cable. The first is a
Prolific
clone that requires an old
version of the driver. It can be downloaded from the MFJ website. The newer version uses an internal
FTDI
chip.
Windows should locate it and download the driver automatically. If not, the driver is available at
http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
Once installed,
TeraTerm
should list the assigned COM port unless multiple serial devices are attached to
the computer.
