Captive Works 700s USB

Programing the box.

If you are here just to get the latest files.

Step 1: (These Files are for the CW 700s USB Recivers only I will be posting files for other recivers later.)

Each of the following links contain software critical to properly updating your receiver. DOWNLOAD ALL OF THE FOLLOWING SOFTWARE EVEN IF YOU DON'T THINK YOU WILL EVER USE IT. Each download will be a .zip archive. You will need to open this archive and extract the files to your usb stick. If you are not using Windows XP or Windows Vista, you will need software to open these archives. The 2 most common programs for this are WinZip and WinRAR.

CW700S FACTORY FIRMWARE
This file is a zip archive that contains, CW700S v1.02_2007_11_24.bin. These files are for the CAPTIVE WORKS 700s USB only! Loading these files onto a Standard receiver may result in a permanently damaged and unrepairable receiver. These files will be used to help clean out the receiver as well as restore it to its factory condition in the event that you ever need to revert.

MOST RECENT SOFTWARE UPDATE
Most of the users on this site are here for this software. These updates are software updates that are supported by Captive Works. These updates allow the receivers to use DN and BEV channels. This is done through hexadecimal "Keys". The software updates make the receiver capable of using these "Keys" while usually automatically updating the key information for you. This feature is called Auto Roll. At the time of this writing, the most current software update was "CW700s v1.51.bin". From here on out, these updates will be referred to as "bin files". These files will be in order from oldest to newest. So if all you need its the new bin file just go to the bottom of the list.
