DSM-300 s/w Update, yes or no

[lotharjt]

I went back to the software update website, indeed, I misread the instructions and was looking at the wrong update instructions. Once I looked at the "radar or DSM30/300" section, it became crystal clear. Thanks.

I did cycle power on the DSM after queuing the load sequence at the MFD, first for the bootloader and then the V4.2 software. It did load and there is definitely a different pattern of light activity on the 'connection' and 'activity' lights at the switch when just the DSM is running. We will run with this for an upcoming trip and see how it goes. So far, at the dock, no anomalous behavior.

And by the way, we did wiggle the power cable on the DSM and no reboots so it still seems to be good.

Thanks for the tips, fingers crossed this makes the difference.
