Marcum LX6 upgrades

[aquafang]

I am in the market for an LX6 and am wondering if the upgrades are free. I've always had to pay for the showdown upgrades.

Heres my main question.... If i am buying a new one, how do i know it has the latest upgrade? I am shopping around but if i find a deal, how do i know i wont need to put more $ into it to get the latest version?

Also, any comments from lx6 users welcome!!

Thanks!

They look free to me.

Just download and install(follow pdf)

Yes they are free and easy to do. Just go to their HSOforum and follow along with the video.

Completely free and easy to do. I did mine in the front seat of my truck from my laptop at the lake access (I went fishing right after work). It takes 5 minutes tops.

The LX-6 has a card reader slot so you can do the updates yourself. The ShowDowns do not have a card reader slot so they needed to be sent in to Marcum.

There's a menu option on the LX-6 that shows you what version of the software you're running.

All of the LX-6s we have are new manufacture, with the latest software on them already. But if you want we can check the software for you, and update it if necessary. We've done updates for customers when they asked us to.

Was there an update since last year?

Does pro fishing supply have free shipping?

The current software version is 3.17. I'm 99% sure that's the same version that was out there last year. You can check your LX-6 to see if that's the version that's currently installed on it.

And yes, Pro Fishing Supply has free shipping on electronics and clothing.

And I hear that there is another upgrade coming around the 1st part of December.
