I just got my 210 back from the service center about two weeks ago. They did a minor repair on the faceplate, and upgraded the firmware (I presume to the latest that they had). I just went out to the hangar to check it, and the FW is version 1.43.000. Alas, I set up the Dual watch, keyed th emic...and the Dual Watch went away. So if they have fixed it, it is REALLY recent.

So now we know that 1.43.000 does not fix it. Wonder what it does fix. I think most of us have 1.23.001.

Is it possible that they made it a user-configurable setting in the new firmware? If so, I could see the default being to leave it the way it was rather than change how your radio operates when it's returned to you. Take a scroll through the config menu and see if there's anything new?

Firmware Version 1.53.000
I went to the hangar today to check the firmware, and... it's 1.53.000! I don't see any new user settings, so I think the new ('correct') functionality is non-optional.
I grabbed pics of the manual addendum and firmware screen:

Cool! I should get mine upgraded too... There's an iCom service center here in town. I wonder how hard it is to upgrade, and/or if there's a cost?

I just got a response from Icom that there is no new firmware beyond 1.23.001......
Obviously someone there is out of the loop. I sent them the pic above and asked them to verify their response.....

That's funny... I just checked my Firmware too and it's also 1.23.001. I really do need to call them... :P
[edit] I just emailed the Canadian service center. http://www.icomcanada.com/services.html for contact info.

I talked to them yesterday
The tech that I talked to said this is so new that he was reading the information for the first time. The engineers had also made the changes and left tech support in the dark about it. Along with the dual watch upgrade, the gps frequency is now pushed directly to the stby frequency. Cost of upgrade is 42 bucks, plus s&h.
