Firmware Updates
Comrex is constantly adding improvements to our products. These changes are incorporated into our current production, but most can be added to earlier units. We automatically do these updates to units sent here for repair or evaluation. Most (but not all) or the updates are free.
Recent Vector, BlueBox and Matrix software shows the version on the screen:
Vector: from the Status Menu, press the Menu key. If the software is Rev. 6 or higher, you will see the information in the lower left corner of the Main Menu.
Matrix/BlueBox: From the Main Screen, press Hangup 3 times, select "More" and "Rev". The version number of the control software is shown on the bottom line.
