The files designated in the last step above are ready to update your FT-2000/D Transceiver. * The PEP_2000 MAIN folder includes the new software writer FWS003 V2. 01. * The PEP_2000 EDSP folder includes a new software writer EDSP V3. 01; it no longer requires the four DLL files that were needed by V1. 03. We recommend you use the V3. 01 writer and remove V1. 03 and the four DLL files from you PC. The software updates will work with all versions (AF, AS, EU, NA, OC, SA or all Countries) of the FT-2000 and FT-301. MAIN Software Update This procedure is used for uploading new Software into the FT-2000/D Amateur Transceivers using the CT-119 program cable.

Connect the CT-119 Cable's DB9F connector to the serial port COM1 in the back of your computer. If you use a USB to serial adapter, you might need to change the COM Port number. Now go to the desktop open PEP2000_MAIN folder and find the FSW003 icon as shown below. Double-click the FSW003 icon, displayed on the Program Screen. NOTE: If you receive a "communications error" message on your screen, click on the Configure box and choose a different COM port from the drop down menu. Then click the WRITE button again. (4) (5) When the program opens, confirm that the file AH025_V0150. SFL is highlighted; if not, click on it to highlight it. Press and hold in the [FAST] and [LOCK] keys; while holding them in, turn the radio back on (this resets the radio and locks in the new software). NOTE: We recommend trying the new factory default settings rather than transferring your old ones, because of the changes in the EDSP and the Main CPU, you may wish to make new settings. We hope this new software will increase your enjoyment of your FT-2000/D.
