I will probably always be behind on this page.  But you may check here first to see if I have the latest EAS software for your particular receiver.  Email me if you find there are changes.  Hopefully we can help each other through this confusing time.

Harris Sage
Sage DOS software - Release Version 1.4 Zip

The user can enter the new Event Codes and new Location Codes using the DOS program. When using this program and entering a new Code from the keyboard, there is a max Event Code description length of 52 characters and a max Location Code description length of 40 characters. There will soon be an import file available on the Harris website which will upgrade the unit. When using the import function, up to 81 characters are available for Event Code descriptions and 41 characters for Location Code descriptions. The company reports the only way to change the County Subdivision names is with a new ROM.  The files below will keep you from having to type each individual code by hand, until the import software is available.

Harris Instructions for Adding New Event Codes - Word Doc

TFT
Two-chip upgrade available for $100 + $10 s&h, 10% discount for pre-paid or credit card orders. For more information click here to go to the TFT website.

GORMAN-REDLICH
"The upgrade chip is now available. For units currently running firmware Version 6.4 or below, those units will need a circuit board modification in addition to the new chip. Upgrade cost including return shipping for those units is $215. Units currently running firmware higher than Version 6.4 only need the new chip, at a cost of $50."

BURK
Burke now states that they do not have a solution yet available for those who have purchased their unit.  They say they are working toward a solution, but do not promise anything.

"August 2002 Update: The current project engineer has not provided a project completion date, however we will be adding project information on our website in the near future. Per, Kevin Frappier."

Earlier from Kevin Frappier, Customer Support Manager, "We will post the EAS update on our web site available at no charge to existing customers. We expect to have this version completed this summer. I do not have an official release date I can provide at this time."

MTS
"We will post the System 3000D update on our website by September 1st. There will be no cost to customers who download the update. The downloaded file is run on a Windows PC to create the update diskette. We will also make the update available on diskette, for which there will be a very small shipping charge. Installing the update involves mounting the diskette in System 3000D's drive and entering a keypad sequence to start the update. The process takes about three minutes. Per Skip White, VP Software Engineering."

HOLLYANNE CORPORATION

HollyAnne is making the new codes available in previously manufactured units as a retrofit.

The retrofit is currently available for HU-961's. The cost of the retrofit is $150.00 plus shipping and handling. There is also a refundable $25.00 core charge on e-proms. The retrofit is designed to be field installed. If you wish, however, HollyAnne Corporation will install the new e-prom in their facility for an additional charge of $75.00 plus shipping and handling.

The retrofit e-prom may be ordered direct from HollyAnne Corporation by phoning (308) 428-4705. You will need to know your unit's serial number and firmware version number.

HollyAnne Corp. 207 W. O'Connor Ave. Greeley, NE 68842 402-426-4841 Toll Free 888-4-EAS INFO (888-4-327-4636). Call Technical Support Center at (308) 428-4705 for any questions.
