Changes from Version 1.40
- - Added the set item to detect the Microphone PTT operation during transmission other than the Microphone PTT operation.
- - When in the Center mode of the Spectrum scope screen, the REF level setting does not reflect the scope waveform during transmission.
- - This firmware update version 1.41 has been improved, so it will not reset settings and memories.
- If the firmware is updated from version 1.40 or earlier, the settings and memories are not reset.
- However, if the firmware is reverted to 1.41 from a later version (after 1.41), the settings and memories may be reset.

Refer to INFORMATION IC-7300 Versions 1.40/1.41 for details.
- To update the firmware
- 1. Download and unzip the firmware data (for example, 7300_141.dat) and copy it into the “IC-7300” folder that is on your SD card.
- 2. Insert the SD card with the firmware data into the transceiver.
- 3. If you are updating the firmware from version 1.30 or earlier, the transceiver will not display a dialog to recommend saving the settings and memories described in step 4-4, so we recommend backing them up on the SD card in case the settings and memories are reset.
- - If you are updating the firmware from version 1.40 or later, proceed to step 4.
- 3-1. Display the SD CARD screen in the Menu.
- 3-2. Touch “Save Setting” on the SD CARD screen to open the SAVE SETTING screen.
- 3-3. Touch <<New File>> to display the FILE NAME screen.
- 3-4. Touch [ENT], and then the dialog “Save file?” is displayed, touch [YES].
- 4. Update the firmware.
- 4-1. Display the SD CARD screen in the Menu.
- 4-2. Touch “Firmware Update” on the SD CARD screen to open the FIRMWARE UPDATE screen.
- 4-3. Touch [▼] to scroll to the end of the screen to read all the precautions, after you read and agree with all the precautions, touch [YES].
- 4-4. If you are updating the firmware from version 1.40 or later, the confirmation dialog recommends making a backup of the settings and memories, touch [YES].
- We recommend that you make a backup of them in this step, because all the settings and memories may be reset after updating the firmware.
- - If you are updating the firmware from version 1.30 or earlier, skip this step, and then the transceiver displays the firmware selection screen.
- 4-5. After the backup file is made, and the firmware selection screen is displayed, touch the firmware update data (for example, 7300_141).
- 4-6. Please carefully read all the precautions, and when you want to execute it, touch [Yes] for 1 second to start the firmware update.
