Major points of update from Ver.1.02 to Ver.1.03: ” Improvements in the TX monitor audio“  The old FW (1.02) caused a great deal of background noise in the monitor audio and an AGC  characteristic that was difficult to listen to in the monitor audio.

Note: I would remind  that the update file must be placed in the “7700″ dir on the USB memory stick if the stick has been formatted in FAT32 by the 7700 previously, you can also format it on a PC, but it must be FAT32. To reboot turn off the front switch. NEVER turn off the power from the back without shutting down the radio first (front button). These radios should be run off a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) Never cut off power supply while updating firmware! Before starting the download, please read through “Section 16 (UPDATING THE FIRMWARE)” of the IC-7700’s instruction manual. Please save the transceiver data content to an USB memory before starting the firmware update; If you want to update the firmware via LAN, please also download this Firmware update utility: 7700FirmUtl_v100.zip;
The Ethernet port update method, but it should work fine if you read the directions in the manual on that topic!
