Mike:
When you power up the radio it will show 4 digits for about 2 seconds.
Current version is 1.823. Note the small numbers at the bottom of the
display will be the serial number for the radio.
I'd get familiar with the radio for a few days. If you have the version
installed as listed above then you are up to date. You will need to
download and stall a Windows driver from the Tentec website. Then you can
download the latest version should you not have it installed. Updating is
easy once you have the driver installed. It uses a USB cable from the back
of the radio to the computer. There are instructions on the Tentec website
the covers and explains the driver install and radio update process.

Subject: [TenTec] Eagle Firmware version
Hello to all.
I have a new Eagle. Here are a couple of "new owner" questions--
I just received the rig from Ten Tec a few days ago. I love it and I have
learned the menu functions pretty well. It blows away anything I have ever
used-- (CW at my QTH forever!).
I am curious-how do I tell what software version was factory installed? Or
what software version it is currently using? Or am I unable to see it (?)
Another query- I am tempted to leave the software alone. Is there a great
advantage to upgrading to the latest software version? Should I care one
way or another?
I don't want to make an error and "brick" my new radio! I saw on another
Eagle user group where a guy did just that. I am pretty computer literate
but all it takes is one wrong move!!
Thanks for any responses. Either here or off reflector would be
appreciated!
