Interesting... It's not showing up on my MOL. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. My Astro25 subscription is pretty new, and R07.00.00 was the first version I got on that particular subscription. I was told by "M" that the initial purchase is on CD, which it was, and then every revision or release after that will be available for download. Is the info I was told by "M" somewhat accurate?

I purchased the astro25 package about 2 months back and it took a few days for v7 to show up. The CD came about a month later.

7.00.01 is showing up fine on MOL.

Yeah, I can veiw both 7.00.00 and 7.00.01 for purchase on my MOL, just not for download. When I go under resource center, there is no "software" tab. The "software" tab showed up a few days ago only for about a day then it went away. When it was there, it showed a download for "mag one" series radios, but no Astro25 stuff. Like I said, the "software" tab is not there anymore on my MOL. Very strange.

You have to call them. They do that to mine sometimes; Although they do not take away my Software Tab, they do however take away the Astro 25 link. I call them and they put everything back to normal. It's a PITA, but you have to get what you paid for.
