Firmware Upgrade
LM-700 Digital DMR and RIB-700 Digital DMR 47.21 (9/6/2024)
To update firmware to V21, RITRON LM DMR Series Programmer_1.0.2 or later version is required.
Fixed a bug that caused a brief audio burst or relay activation when the repeater transmitted voice packets following idle packets. Added "This will Erase important information: Are you sure? (yes/no)" to debug 'p' command. Next keys must be 'y' 'e' 's' before reloading factory configuration. Turned off debug output. Please refer to 47.21_Read_Me_LM700DMR.pdf for a detailed description of the firmware history.
LM-700 Digital DMR and RIB-700 Digital DMR 47.20 (12/04/2023)
To update firmware to V20, RITRON LM DMR Series Programmer_1.0.2 or later version is required.
1) V20 Fixed a bug introduced in V19, causing lower sensitivity. The bug was originally introduced in V18, which has never been released, just for customer field testing. When V19 was created, it was based on V18. The extra time-consuming code in V18 caused package drop-out. The problem code is removed in V20. Please refer to 47.20_Read_Me_LM700DMR.pdf for a detailed description of the firmware history.
Firmware Upgrade
RQX-117NX/417NX Callbox Version 41.09 (11/20/2023)
Firmware revision 41.09 fixes a problem where the NXDN Callbox was missing a PTT detection at power on.. Please refer to 41.09_Read_Me_NXDN_callbox.pdf for a detailed description of the RQX-117NX/417NX Callbox firmware history.
Firmware Upgrade
LM-700 Digital DMR and RIB-700 Digital DMR 47.19 (11/10/2023)
To update firmware to V19, RITRON LM DMR Series Programmer_1.0.2 or later version is required.
1) Fixed a bug when working with repeater. It randomly activates relay during the repeater hang time. This problem was caused by the firmware not recognizing the repeater idle package. V19 fixed this problem.
Firmware Upgrade
LM-700 Digital DMR and RIB-700 Digital DMR 47.17 (9/26/2023)
To update firmware to V17, RITRON LM DMR Series Programmer_1.0.2 or later version is required.
1) Fixed a bug in command A21, which is used to reset the unit to factory default configuration via the 7-segment LED display and a button on PCB.
2) Improved the bootloader. A new and better bootloader located at memory lower address is added in version 17. This new version prevents the unit from locking up under some very special conditions.
3) Added a reminder note for the ‘p’ command in the RITRON LM DMR Series Programmer terminal mode to avoid the user from accidentally erasing the customer configuration. A ‘yes’ must be entered after the note in order to process the ‘p’ command.
4) Added 500ms of dead time on debug UART line before commands are accepted in order to reject random interference from strong RF signals. Refer to 47.17_Read_Me_LM700DMR.pdf for a detailed description of the LM-700DMR and RIB-700DMR firmware history.
Firmware Upgrade
RQA GEN 2 firmware 32.54 (12/29/22)

Once updated to 9S1N3714 the radio cannot be returned to 9S1N3711 or earlier. Please refer to 37.14_Read_Me.pdf for a detailed description of the 7-Series Base Radio firmware history
Firmware Upgrade
LM-700 Digital DMR and RIB-700 Digital DMR 47.16 (9/8/2022)
Fixed a debug serial interface issue that can cause the radio’s configuration to be erased. The debug interface uses single character commands from the host computer. Leakage from the debug TXD to RXD pins on the debug serial interface can cause output characters on the TXD pin to be interpreted as commands on the RXD input. Among the characters, one character is a command that erases the configuration. If that character in the TX stream, it could be seen by the input and erase the configuration. Also, RF coupling to the debug RXD pin can also create that character command and cause the same problem. This issue has been resolved with this firmware revision. Refer to 47.16_Read_Me_LM700DMR.pdf for a detailed description of the LM-700DMR and RIB-700DMR firmware history.
Firmware Upgrade
RQX-417DMR Daughter Card Version 9S110409 (8/5/2022) NEW
Firmware revision 9S110409 fixes an issue where the bootloader would periodically miss the first character during a DMR firmware update. Also, it improves the bit-error-rate (BER) so that periodic audio drop-outs are significantly reduced and fixes an 'Over the air alias' issue that was also causing audio dropouts. Please refer to 9S1104.09_Read_Me_DMR_callbox_daughtercard.pdf RQX-417DMR Callbox firmware history.
Firmware Upgrade
LM-700 Digital DMR and RIB-700 Digital DMR 47.15 (7/26/2022) NEW
Fixed a bootloader problem introduced by revision 14. Revision 14 was never actually shipped. Note that the bootloader doesn’t get changed by a firmware update, it stays the same as was loaded from the factory i.e. since revision 14 boot loader was never actually shipped, the customers will never see this issue.Refer to 47.15_Read_Me.pdf for a detailed description of the LM-700DMR and RIB-700DMR firmware history.
Firmware Upgrade
LM-700 Digital DMR and RIB-700 Digital DMR 47.14 (7/19/2022) NEW
Firmware revision 9s1N4714 fixes choppy voice play back. This problem can occur on any voice reception including recorded messages with some portable radios, such as Kenwood and Hytera. Also, fixed a test tone dropout (1031Hz or 2880Hz) problem. Customers may not detect any difference with this fix; it can typically only be detected when the unit is tested with professional test equipment, especially at weak signal levels. Refer to 47.14_Read_Me.pdf for a detailed description of the LM-700DMR and RIB-700DMR firmware history.
Firmware Upgrade

RQX 1 & 6 Series Callbox Version 18.10 with serial numbers 13249 or lower (8/29/08)
PCB updates for RQX-156/151 and RQX-456/451 fixes an occasional lock-up in transmit mode when sending DTMF ANI requiring a power down reset to resume operation. This firmware update only affects DTMF ANI operation and is not required unless this feature is used.
This also includes the fix added in version 18.09 where PCB updates for RQX-156/151 and RQX-456/451 caused a problem when companding in receive mode. This firmware update corrects the problem and can be safely used on any previous PCB revision.
