I don't know about the firmware, I do know that the FT-100 knob has a much
nicer edge feel (soft) and a finger indent. Some folks achieve that by
drilling holes or putting rubber bands from broccoli on the original K-2
knob. I paid over $800 for my K-2 - I didn't think a $15 knob (including
postage) was the time to cheap out and start experimenting. The FT-100
knob looks good, feels good and is well balanced. Each to his own, but the
original knob is just too spartan for me - like putting combat boots on a
$500 an hour super model.
