Radio firmware update?
I just checked my radio and I have never done a firmware update. My version is 1.19.1.2
my radio has run without hiccup since I bought the bike. The newest version out is 1.22.0.3 and I’m curious if it’s worth doing the update? Possibly run into bugs with it.
thoughts?

If it’s not broke…don’t fix it.
BTW…as a retired system software engineer, I do not do voluntary software updates, unless there are specific issues identified as fixed that I care about. If it says something like “general stability & performance” and Im not having specific issues I don’t do the upgrade. In general, follow on releases after the initial release are not developed by the most knowledgeable people that did the initial development, and many times post launch support is done by more Junior developers. And further, post launch releases are not tested as well as the initial release.
So…don’t do voluntary releases unless it claims to fix a specific issue you are having.

If they do, they will say so. My Sony camera required the previous update to get the latest, but they build on each other. In the case of the BOOM, just installing the latest will include every update from the previous updates as well. I updated to the latest a while back so the warning screen goes away after a few seconds, whether I accept or not.

How is the version number accessed? What's the most current version number for the Rushmore Boom Box radios?
