When Flashing a Radio there are two types of FLASHport Upgrades, a Refresh software upgrade and a FLASHcode Feature Set upgrade. A Refresh Upgrade, upgrades the radio’s internal software also known as firmware, including also upgrading the radio’s Secure Encryption Module’s firmware when needed. A FLASHcode Feature Set upgrade ultimately changes the radio’s potential set of features (System Options / Option - Expansion Board). Note that when needed, this Upgrade may also upgrade the radio’s Secure Encryption module’s firmware. In preparation for this process, FLASHport also allows you to read and view the current Radio and / or FLASHkey configurations.
