Hi Ian
That sounds encouraging, what's the date code on yours?
I seem to recall previous discussions here regarding the possibility of
firmware upgrades and am pretty sure the answer was "No".
My current Tbolts have firmware 3.xx but I have had some in the past with
version 2.xx and don't recall any obvious differences.

Hi All,
I purchased one of these "red box" t'bolt from this Israeli seller and it
arrived a couple of days ago.
I can confirm it has the Trimble labeled OXCO and firmware FW2.12.
Also interesting is that it seems to run happily with the supply backed
off to 17V.
I've taken some pics with the boards spread out and uploaded them to
Didiers site.
The file is called RedBoxThunderbolt.pdf and should be available shortly.
As with many things found on fleabay, a gamble is involved. In this case
it seems to have paid off.
Is it possible (and is there any benefit) in updating the firmware?
cheers,
ian
