For those wishing to update 1.74 has been added to the customer service site and can be found here at the bottom of the list.

I will be doing upgrades on Thursday and Friday at York, times to be determined if you'd rather wait.

These are the changes from 1.72

The Cab2 changes made from v1.72 were as follows:
---------------------------------------------

• Fix issues with Train and Route builders
• Additional optimizations for Base3 compatibility

I'll ask the annual question. Currently at 1.6. Any real need to upgrade.

I do remember the process being somewhat of a pita...

Thanks!

And, if I do the upgrade to 1.74, do I need to go step by step with the other upgrades or will going to 1.74 cover them all?

Thanks Again!!

Marty answered this on another post.   If you have 1.6 you can go to 1.74 directly.  

I just updated mine.    It’s been awhile, once I got all the connections correct, it was pretty simple.

Well, well, well... Looking in my 990 box of goodies, it appears I never ordered the Tripp-Lite cable for USB... Part number or other options? Thanks!!

I'm assuming any USB to RS232 cable Amazon has would do the trick...

Do you have a LCS WiFi module installed?  You can use that to get into the Legacy Base.  If not, I don't know of any recommended USB adapters but I have used several and they all seemed to have worked.

This is what I bought from Amazon to do my base and cab2 update. Instead of having a jumper to a jumper to connect everything I went with one cable. Now you can use any type of USB connection but this is what I bought. Simple and easy to use.

No LCS WiFi...

Also please note that Base V1.6 is included in this ZIP file.  I would recommend if you are not at V1.6 on your base to upgrade it as well.

Currently at 1.6 in both...
