[Elecraft] KAT100 and K2 firmware upgrades

[Eric Swartz WA6HHQ - Elecraft]

Hi Andy,

I apologize for any confusion on this issue. We always provide the firmware 
level needed to run a newly purchased option for free when you buy it. If you 
have an earlier K2 firmware revision that does support the option this is not 
necessary, but if you need new firmware to make it work we will supply the 
latest version.

Usually we can figure this out here at time of order based on your serial 
number if you give it to us, but we may miss it. Just call our sales dept. 
(831-662-8345) or email them at sales@elecraft.com with your rig s/n, f/w 
revision and option information and they will get one out to you immediately.
