Just FYI:

FSB10453 - ASTRO Digital APX 7000 and ASTRO Digital APX 7500 - Affiliation issues with SmartNet Type II systems
SUBJECT: ASTRO® Digital APX 7000™ and ASTRO® Digital APX 7500™ - Affiliation issues with SmartNet Type II systems
MODEL / SYSTEM AFFECTED: All H97TGD9PW_N portable or M30URS9PW1AN mobile radios with Host firmware version R04.00.00 thru R04.00.15

If user power cycles the radio, it will begin using the correct system information.
CAUSE: Firmware defect

To do a firmware upgrade do you need anything more than the CPS, firmware and USB cable?

i-buttons are only required for features and ASK's on the APX radios. Firmware refreshes are free.

MTS/MCS Series: Firmware Refresh and Features via ibutton
Astro Series: Firmware Refresh and Features via ibutton
Astro25 Series: Firmware Refresh and Features via ibutton
APX Series: Features only via ibutton, Firmware refresh does not require iButton
All of the above radios can use either Advanced/Software system keys depending on configuration of the equipment.
