Latest firmware for 5100 UHF Low?

I am the proud new owner of a EF Johnson 5100 series portable that I'm using on GMRS for local CERT operations. Am a moto fanboy at heart, but couldn't pass up the deal I got on the EFJ. With the radio, I got a licensed copy of Radio Configuration V1.28.0.8n and an OEM EFJ cable. I am curious as to the most current firmware for this radio? The software reads version info from the radio as follows:

File Format 5.8
DSP 1.2.3
Controller 1.18.15
Boot Load 1.13
Radio model is 242-5132-410-BD


As a motHerola user, I'm just accustomed to a "flash version" and that being it...can anyone shed some light on the age of this firmware and how one goes about procuring updated EFJ firmware?

Thanks, and hi from a new board user :)

Sweet! Thanks! I've been having a small issue (very intermittent) where when I key up, it beeps, stops transmitting, starts again, over and over. Usually resetting the radio seems to help (good battery). Any ideas?
