Ham radio firmware roundup, week 38 2026: QRP Labs QMX 1_04_011, Icom ID-5200A 1.10, Retevis L62 20260917

The week in short

Four firmware releases landed between 14 and 20 September, spread across three vendors. QRP Labs was the busy one, pushing the QMX twice inside the same week. Retevis joined the tracker with a new product, and Icom dropped a point release for a dual-band mobile.

Everything listed below was published by the manufacturer on its own site.

Notable updates

QRP Labs

• QMX 1_04_010 — released 14 September
• QMX 1_04_011 — released 19 September, and the newest of the two

Two releases five days apart, with the version numbers moving only in the last digit — that pattern usually points to maintenance work rather than a feature drop, but the data here covers versions and dates only. If you want to know what actually moved, the release notes on the QMX page on updatemystuff.com are the place to look. If you skipped 1_04_010, you can go straight to 1_04_011.

Icom

• ID-5200A 1.10 — released 18 September

A new version for the ID-5200A. What it addresses isn't something we can tell you from the version record, so check the release notes on the ID-5200A page.

Everything else

Retevis

• L62 — new to the tracker this week
• L62 20260917 — released 17 September

Retevis uses date-stamped firmware versions on this one, so the version number is the release date. Since the L62 is new to the tracker, there's no earlier version here to compare against — treat this as the baseline and watch it from here.
