Well, I definitely have a Rev. D K1-2 and K1FIL2.

MCU Firmware is 1.09E and I'm now trying to determine if K1UPKT has
been applied to the  rig to bring it up to match current K1's.

KAT1 firmware is 1.10 and I'm guessing is a bit outdated.  How big of
a deal is the latest firmware?

Also, how important is it to apply K1UPKT?  Is it a necessary upgrade?

Thanks
