do you mean 2.30.90 ?

That was released about a month ago. Or is there a newer one they’ve not yet updated on the change log?

The Pactor II and III are on a 4.1 series firmware, while the 2.3 series is for the new Pactor IV / Dragon. At least I think so. But still thanks to the original poster, I just updated my PTC-IIpro from 4.0 to 4.1r. I used airmail2000 to do that via the serial port.

The firmware history (for PTCII/III) doesn't indicate significant changes:

PTC-II/PTC-III Firmware History:

Version 4.1r: - Improvement of Robust Connect

Version 4.1q: - new default of CWID: "0 2" - if bit 1 of the second CWID argument is set the CWID is transmitted as audio only PTT keyed during the transmission

Version 4.1m: - CWTerm fixed

Version 4.1j: - fixed a serious bug in FMFax baudrate handling

Version 4.1g: - fixed PIB UDP bug

Version 4.1a: - initial version for the PTC-IIIusb

Latest version for pic-II/III is 4.1r

If you have a 12v supply do you need the audio cable connection to update to 4
.1r? Or is it done through usb cable? guess not?
I need a TRX audio cable & control cable & are looking for a reasonably delivery time.
Last item ordered from US took 2.5mnths!
