No, R05.02 and R05.03 are compatable with each other.

So even if an AS3 was last programmed with 5.03, it can still be programmed with 5.02? Am I understanding this correctly? GARY N4KVE

Yes, the codeplug version doesn't change. Same reason the last few versions of Pro Series CPS were interchangeable.
