Any chance of getting the V2 firmware for newer (February 2024 and later) radios which have different base board (supplied with V2.02(1.3E) firmware) which includes also the "V1" labeled radios in shops without GPS module?

You're knocking it out of the park. I've just been waiting for this radio to fail due to the fact the fan wasn't coming on. Thanks for the fix.

Confirmed fixed my radios, thank you.

General question - not directly related. Does your radio squelch out (very shortly like a puffing sound) every second - while receiving, presumably to monitor the other 'VFO' ? Is this possibility fixed in an earlier update. Can't find a parameter to stop Dual Watch while receiving (squelch open). Thanks in advance for any advise and sorry for the off-topic question :-)

Hi Matt, thanks for the tutorial, great! One question, my recently purchased radio of this model came with Version 2.02 (1.3E), it seems to be more current than this one, and it has the most varied bugs. Can I post this update? Or if you try to do it, because you have a different one than the one initially shown, could it be damaged? I await your response, thank you.

Hello Matt. Because I have not yet received the programming cable and I have not updated the supplied firmware, I would like to know if this firmware produces other improvements on the transceiver. Thank you

@TechMindsOfficial 3 ай бұрын

Unfortunately I never got a "Change log" with the firmware file. I didn't even get a website where I can download it from, it was shared with me from the dealer.

The firmware update does not proceed (failure) and the ar-2520 does not turn on.

I like this little transceiver, but a firmware update is needed to improve airband reception and solve the problem with blocking when the PTT is pressed while scanning. Thank you.

Matt, I have the radio but I find the Operation Instructions beyond me. Have you considered a video of how to enter a repeater and some of the basic navigation around the radio? It might help a lot of us.

@TechMindsOfficial 3 ай бұрын

Hi ya, to be honest, use the software. Grab a cheap cable from online and then use the software to program repeaters and radio features. It's so much easier and less time consuming. Of course there may be times that you want to program in the field, I guess its just the case of practice makes perfect. I'll have to think about making a menu/setup video. Cheers

@@TechMindsOfficial, @rickhartnett3971 I did it manually initial but I'm glad I got the cable. To program from mic: 1) choose main band and set to VFO mode. 2) enter freq from repeater 3) in menu set CTCSS tone for rx and tx if needed 4) to enter tx freq press */FM button for more then one second (vfo freq will change to red) 5) enter tx freq and press */FM again 6) now you have set all, test repeater 7) go to menu 34 and save channel, press menu again 8) got to menu 33 and put in name (use # to use keypad alphabet, to enter number exit (alter with) #) 9) press menu to exit name programming, press exit to exit menu It is in the manual but poorly explained. 73 Phil

I got the update from the radio supplier, Banggood, but they didnt tell me where they got it from. Really the firmware SHOULD be on the manufactures website, but....

I have a big problem with the Abbree 2520 when scanning the memory's if you press the PTT the radio goes into transmit mode and the radio is locked up, you have to switch the power supply off, so be careful if you have this problem it's easy to catch the PTT and not realise, Thank Gary.

GOOD EVENING, I KINDLY ASK YOU IF YOU CAN TELL ME WHERE TO DOWNLOAD THE SOFTWARE TO LOAD MEMORIES, ABBREE DOES NOT ANSWER ME AND THIS MODEL DOES NOT EXIST FROM THE SITE, NOT EVEN ON CHIRP. DO YOU HAVE ANY LINKS TO GIVE ME TO, THANKS FOR YOUR COOPERATION

ok, I loved the presentation, the link to the upgrade tool, but it is useless without the respective firmware, could you send or post the link to me, a big hug, 73 and continue your spectacular presentations

@TechMindsOfficial 2 ай бұрын

Ummmm.. There is no separate firmware file. The application/firmware loader contains the firmware. 1) Connect cable 2) Select comport in tool 3) apply power to radio but do NOT turn on 4) press update.. That's it.. :-)

That's good to fix the fan problem, I don't have this radio, but it's simply an electronic temperature sensor control problem why bother to use software ?

@TechMindsOfficial 3 ай бұрын

The data from the temp sensor will need to be processed by something. I have made amplifiers with temp sensors, controlled by Arduinos. Having software/firmware control a fan based on the temp sensor reading means it can be altered as needed. It's kind of normal.

@joelee24 3 ай бұрын

@@TechMindsOfficial IC, I just thought in case the s/w locked up after unsuccessful update the fan may not start at all, so that some h/w based protection is better.
