If the radio is not broken it is recommended not to fix it, however the chart below shows the files associated with the various hardware versions. The CPS and firmware upgrade tool is common for all versions of the hardware.

If the radio is truely bricked, then you must use the .dfu bootloader first. Details are in the CS800D firmware section for the amateurs.

  • 1. Update the Bootloader if radio has older bootloader
  • 2. Load and run the RCDB program. Make sure you use the CS710/CS711 version to match your radio

  • The hardware in the radio has been modified as specified below
  • 1. HRC6000 replaced the HRC5000. This allows the radio to have Tier III features not available in the HRC5000 baseband chip
  • 2. AK1590 replaced the SKY72310 because the old chip was obsolete and no longer available.
  • 3. The AK2365 replaced the 31136 and filter. This makes the radio more rugged because the filter was fragile and could be broken if hit hard.
  • The following are the software enhancements:
  • 1. Added Call End Tone setting menu
  • 2. FIxed a private call alert bug that prevented talk back
