Latest Classic Firmware Downloads

[KyleM]

When I need an update, can I download to Linux, put the file on removable storage, and then find a Win PC to do the actual update?

The answer may be an obvious "yes" but other devices/companies require a connection during the update process.  If this is in the Classic manual I haven't found it.

My ENTER buttons make the alternating beep noise often. I just figured I'd get quieter with practice.

You might be able to run this installer in Linux. There are multiple versions that seem to work.
No I don't have a list since it is an unsupported OS BUT I thought I would mention it.

To answer your question there should not be any problem downloading the zip file and then unzipping it onto a windows PC.

I also noticed that the 2193/2186  is not respecting the quiet time for voice. It talked briefly a couple times announcing the status ( when it started charging )  before the quiet time period ended.

It's doing that with the current version I have. So that bug apparently didn't get fix yet.

Did not realize the MNGP did this, John.

Thank you for this bit of info.  Will look into this.

PS...  I meant to QUOTE, not modify your text.  Gotta be careful what icon I hit !

Sounds like it's worth a try. Thanks.

boB,  IIRC it's in the morning when it starts charging or comes out of resting even though the Voice is set to be off until say 9:00AM. Not sure if this is 100% or intermittent. Hope to get back to the boat over Labor Day weekend, so I watch it more closely.

Oh, and the version I am running was the one that was provided for the Voice beta when the DTD feature was first added and the version # did not change.

Now after not talking for a awhile  it all of a sudden says
" I bet you got a big charge out of that Buster "  or something like that  in mans voice.
And then the woman voice  read off the screen .
I have it on
Chatty Cathy mode
Status 1:00 Errors 30
It is 7:47 pm so maybe going to Resting Mode is what triggered it ?
It is within the okay to talk settings times .
