The NEW manual is V4.20 and will be uploaded shortly See the file manual.cnh for basic changes from v4.14-v4.20 Notes: To install the update you need to unzip eproms.zip and burn two 27C512 eproms, one with the voice data and one for the main program rom. After installing the new roms, power up the controller while holding down the initialization button on the circuit board. This will set everything up for factory defaults. You can then begin programming. You may not have to reinitialize the controller if you are upgrading from a relatively recent version (4.00 or later). eproms.zip contains: voice401.bin - Binary file for the voice rom rlc2a420.icm - RLC2a Binary file for main rom with Icom HF interface rlc2a420.kwd - RLC2a Binary file for main rom with Kenwood HF interface rlc2a420.yas - RLC2a Binary file for main rom with Yaesu HF interface rlc2_420.icm - RLC2 Binary file for main rom with Icom HF interface rlc2_420.kwd - RLC2 Binary file for main rom with Kenwood HF interface rlc2_420.yas - RLC2 Binary file for main rom with Yaesu HF interface Note: if your controller serial number is 150 or later, it is an RLC-2a rather than a RLC-2.
