Software Updates - Simrad Broadband 3G™ Broadband Radar

Broadband and HD radars occasionally require a software upgrade. This is generally to implement new features or to improve functionality. Simrad Broadband Radars and Simrad HD Pulse Radars can be easily upgraded from either a Simrad NSE8, NSE12, GB40, NX40 or NX45 Multifunction Display (MFD). The different MFD systems use a special upgrade file type depending on the type of display. Please read the Installation Instructions before upgrading your unit.

New Feature – NX40/45 compatibility
3G is now enabled to run on *Simrad NX40/NX45 multifunction displays

3G Radar now has the ability to be upgraded from an NX display.
3.0.21 does not allow the 3G to be upgraded via NX displays

New Feature – Software Upgrade protection
Protection from older BR24 software being applied to 3G and causing potential crashes

3.0.21 will fail if older BR24 software is applied. 3G is different hardware so is incompatible with BR24 software; however initial protection was not provided.
3.0.25 will protect the 3G radar from this scenario and any upgrade attempt will be aborted.

NOTE: Please do not attempt to apply BR24 software to 3G radars
