Hi Terry,

Last night must have been national update night.  I was updating firmware in my 
565 as well to latest v3032x7.

I updated right off TT site.  Do you have your radio set to flash mode before 
you run the update.  If you don’t it will set and wait and say be patient for 
as long as your willing to set there hi hi.

You start with radio powered off and then depress “User 2” button, hold, and 
turn on power switch and that puts your radio in flash update mode.  Select 
desired ruf file and select update from your pc flash application and off you 
go.

Hope that helps.

Steve - W5JK
