  • The first year of production units seems to have firmware with a version # of 1.17
  • Around the middle of May, Uniden began shipping new firmware models with a much shorter Multi-Trunk delay (although Uniden denies the change). This firmware is version 1.19
  • Version 1.19 was followed by 1.02 (go figure!) and then 1.04
  • Version 1.05 was released early July, 2002 and Jeff Goldman, WA1UDB, has verified that Uniden has removed the Smart Scanner download feature
  • How do you find the version #? Turn off the scanner, HOLD DOWN the 2, 4 & 9 keys, and turn it on. Note what appears in the display
