[TenTec] Eagle Firmware version

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

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.
