Marcum software updates 4.07 and 2.31 are available! Update is live via download for LX6, LX7 and (2.31) for LX9 via Marcum's HSOforum. http://marcum.com/upgrades/

This new version (4.07) will update your Marcum to the most current system performance improvements.

Manual Dynamic Range – Adjustable in one-foot increments.

Transducer offset added in one-inch increments.

Default to 6 color mode.

I can't get it link correctly either.

Has anyone had the time to test this out? Can you also explain the offset a little bit.

[Blackhawkxp]

From what i understand on the offset is it is designed to offset the length the transducer is hanging in the hole. If your ducer is 18" below the top of the ice you can offset the length so you get an accurate depth reading.

I wish they could figure out what to tell people when the file will not load. Last time I had had to take the unit back to the shop I bought it and did it on their computer. Took less than 5 minutes when it works right.

The link above fisherman-andy listed should be: m a r c u m t e c h not just marcum

The ' system ' on this board is messing with the name.

Just unpacked my new LX6 and I'm waiting for the battery to charge to load the update.

Marcum should enable cell/wifi on these, would make life so much easier.

Your correct, I originally copy and pasted it. But HSO does not allow the link and changes it to marcum.com/upgrades instead of m a r c u m t e c h . c o m/upgrades

To reconfirm I copy and pasted it again and same results. See below. Do not use that link. Just go to Marcum's HSOforum instead manually.

Updated the LX 7 today. Took about 20 minutes of fiddling around. My system kept telling me it couldn't open the .bin file downloaded from Marcum. After retrying several times we got it to work.

If I could remember the exact process of what we did to make it happen I would list the steps here but I'm not sure exactly what I did to make it work. You know how that is with computer stuff.

i had the i-t guy at work down load it on my marcum, took less then a minute to do. no problems, tracker 185b

Just finished updating my LX6, from start to finish, it took roughly 5 minutes if you follow the online or video instructions, very easy.

Now I've gotta find time to get out on the lake and put it to work!

A few days ago I messed around with one of the copies that was floating around the net and had the same trouble with my computer not wanting to open the .bin file. I finally figured out that it doesn't have to open the file. You're just transferring it from the download to the LX7. Once I realized that it was quite easy. I just spent more time going to the basement to get my flasher than I did updating it from the Marcum site.

Finally! I'll be loading the update this week on both the LX6 and LX7.

Ditto. Very easy - even for an over 60 guy.

[mojogunter]

I think that the guys that are having issues may not be using a 2.0 USB port or the cable isn't 2.0 compliant.

[GSP4ME]

Problem is if you have a mac you can do it for the 6 and 7. That blows

Tried out the LX6 update yesterday, worked great. Manually set my dynamic depth to 15 feet in 14 feet of water. Will be updating the LX7 next.

[d beyer]

Tried out the LX-7 update for awhile yesterday. Only complaints I have is sensitivity seems a bit much and when changing manual dynamic depth I still get the black triangle in bottom read out. Once it is set it seemed to work perfect. Even the lines on graph mode quit flashing on and off like they did before update.

Did my update today. I'll be on the lake all weekend.
