FedSig ILS Firmware Update? Retired MHP ILS System

[TacoMonster]

I have a used FedSig ILSFDS apparently retired from highway patrol service. The board has a sticker that reads MHP.HEX which I assume is custom firmware. The available flash patterns are very limited (when selecting patterns in Convergence, only a select few work, the others leave the ILS dark).

Are there any dealers / experts here that I could ship this off to to update the firmware to a fully functional version, or am I calling FedSig?

Thanks!

Missed the edit window... just adding - the traffic adviser and "warn" functions are fully functional but the only enabled flash patterns are patterns 10,17,22 and 26 ... none of which I'm a big fan of.

Update: called Federal Signal and told them I bought a surplus unit that had all but 4 flash patterns locked out or de-programmed. Tech support verified the model number and confirmed it can be re-flashed to the standard array of flash patterns ... and they'd do it for free ... I got an RMA and shipped it to them today. Will update in a week or two once it gets sent back.

I have to say, I've bought used equipment from a few manufacturers to save some dollars for both myself and some friends I've installed for, but FedSig's service has been second to none!

That’s a pretty good deal. They covered shipping and a reflash.... win win!
