Leo - I don't think it's just you! My K2/100 works great!! But after seeing all these emails fly by day after day about crystals and BFO's etc etc etc(I don't read them all because I would never get anything done!) - I finally broke down and sent a note to support asking what's the quick and easy way to know if your K2 is up to date with all the mods!!  73/Tim logan NZ7C
