My FT-950 lives, by no skill of my own. My buddy Jon fixed it. He’s a software engineer by day and [apparently] an electronics engineer by night. What a great friend!

Hi Vel,
The failure was my inability to follow directions while performing the firmware upgrade. It had something to do with me not flipping the switch on the back at the appropriate time and/or having cut power at the power supply before turning off the radio via the button on the front.
My buddy had to probe around on the CPU and do something to reset the CPU. I don’t know the details. I sent the radio to him and he found out where the CPU reset line was and somehow reset it.
While my buddy had the radio, he updated the firmware for me. It does work great for me now too.
73,
Mike
