No. Unfortunately once a radio has been programmed with newer software it is not backwards compatible with older software. The only difference I know of is you can have a DOS RSS CP from 9.03 you can work on it in the CPS and program it in CPS version 1.03 and still read it in DOS....if that makes any sense to you at all.....

Even simplier...

If the radio was programmed with verison 4, and you have version 3 software, it won't work.

If your radio was programmed with verison 4, and you have verison 5, it will work, but you can't use software older than version 5 from now on. This goes with 5.xx verisons as well.

RSS v5.123 will not program a radio that v5.124.
