Rich,
I'd guess any updates would be done in Japan, not the U.S.

You obviously have some uncertainty as to whether your rig is new or a
repack, so why not ask the place you bought it or check the serial number
with Yaesu. By the way, to my knowledge, Yaesu does not sell "repacks" per
se- they call them refurbs and this should be indicated by your serial
number. If your dealer sold you a refurb as a new rig, it would be easy to
find out and Yaesu would not be happy. I would certainly ask about the
presence of thermal grease on my rig.

73,
Scott, W9AL
