I don't understand how you do this.  The latest firmware is 1.42.  If 
I want to revert to 1.41, it tells me that my radio has 1.42 and 
doesn't allow me to do anything.  There are no check boxes.  If I 
rename the 1.41 file to 1.43 to fake it out, then what happens when 
the actual 1.43 gets released?  Do I have to increment the number 
each time I want to load another version?
