I am looking for the V 1.6USA firmware for my FTM350AR - I have a couple of copies for the A/E version and my rig keep reading "FIRM ERROR" when I tried to load it.... so I reinstalled V 1.3USA back in the rig....
 

The only thing I see released by Yaesu USA on their website is version 1.3. Are you sure there is a version 1.6 available?

Both of my ftm-350ar`s have 1.6 they were purchased earlier this year.

A while back I sent a support request to Yaesu asking about 1.6 upgrade and they said they didn't have it from Japan. I don't know if that has changed yet.

Does it fix the stupid audio drop when you go into menu ? Im offering yaesu $100 cash if they can release an update as to when your receiving a signal that you dont loose audio when you go into the menus to change settings like mic gain, screen color, brightness, repeater + or - etc
