New software is now available for the Product Link (PL 121). The new 377-4844 Communication Software Gp has been released for the current production PL 121 (336-3545 Communication Electronics Gp ). This file cannot be used on previous production PL 121s (263-9088 Communication Radio Gp ). The new software for Product Link (PL121) can only be used to upgrade the 336-3545 Communication Electronics Gp to support PLVIMS. Existing PL321 systems do not require this update. PLVIMS applications do not use the PL300 ECM. Instead, the PLVIMS applications use the 285-1142 Electronic Control Module or the 351-8492 Electronic Control Module.
