I have taken 430 SMs to 14.x on the bench. 11.2 > 12.1 > 13.4.1 >
14.1.2. 450, 450i and 430 *SM* uses the same package file. The various
images are all rolled together in the pxp45x pkg3's. 13.4.1 is the end
of the road for the 430 *AP*. And FSK.

There isn't a .pkg file for OFDM 430 after 13.4.1
Also it's somewhere in the release notes or user manual but it's been
a while since I've read them and I don't remember which version
started talking about it. It could have been in some of the beta
release notes because we beta tested most of the 14.x builds. Check
the forums too because it might have been discussed there as well.
I'm to old to remember haha.

OK, that provides some clarity but also more confusion. Not sure
I’m looking at the same document as you, I see Introduction on
page 5.
But in the 14.1.2 release notes, I see nothing about 430 at all.
In the 14.2.1 release notes, I do see a Note that 430 SMs must
first go to 14.1.2 before 14.2.1, and a Note they will no longer
be able to talk to a 430 AP. I am not seeing anything about
having to do the upgrade over the air (which is really strange
IMHO). Are you seeing this explicitly stated in the release
notes, or inferring it from the fact that 13.4.1 is that last
download listed on the website for 430?

Software release notes for 14.2.1 in the introduction on page 3
gives the best description. (I think it's on or near the same page
with the other releases but I'm on my phone so it's hard to scan
thru them all)
The update has to be done over the air thru SMs auto update tho.
You can't upgrade a 430 SM on the bench past 13.4.1.

Do you have a link to that? I just checked and 14.1.2, 14.2.1
and 15.0 all say 450/450i/450m no mention of 430, also on the
download page if you select 430 the latest FW shown is 13.4.1.
We gained a lot of stability with 14.1.2 and it would be nice
if we could bring the 430 SMs up to that. I’m not so sure
about 14.2.1, and 15.0 seems to be mostly to support 450m.

Thru auto update from the AP over the air 430 SMs can and
should be brought up to whatever firmware the AP is using.
If you need to connect the 430SM back to a 430 AP you'll need
to manually downgrade the SM to 13.4.1 tho.
It's in all the 14.x release notes.

We have changed out all our 430 Aps for 450i, but still
have a bunch of 430 SMs running in 450 compatibility
mode. My techs keep telling me when they do service
calls, that alignment tone is broken on those SMs. The
first time I figured bad hardware since some roofers had
bonked the dish, but as it keeps happening, I’m realizing
it must be the firmware.
I remember some FW release broke alignment tone on the 450
SMs and so we waited until the fixed it. I don’t remember
which release broke it and which release fixed it.
But the release notes tell you that for compatibility with
450i you should have 430 SMs on 13.4.1, plus I think
that’s the end of the line for 430, right? We can’t go to
14.1.2 which is what we have on all our 450 stuff.
Does anyone know if in fact alignment tone is non
functional on a 430 SM with 13.4.1?
