I am still fairly new to Ham radio. Last year I purchased an old K2 Seriel No. 638 with Firmware 1.04A and I/O 1.02. This rig is a basic model , CW only with the ATU. It suits me fine as low power CW is my main mode of operation.
I have just purchased a firmware update to Rev. 2.04 and 1.09 on Ebay???
I have reviwed the Elecraft website for update info, and feel reasonably comfortable doing the updates, but erring on the side of caution---so little point in updates that improve ssb.
Now what to do?? I have considered each of the following.
1. Do nothing---leave well alone.
2. Just add the Software updates. Is this useful on its own ?
3. Add software updates and minimal hardware updates that improve CW operation.
4. Add Sotware updates and Elecraft Kit to Update Rev A to Rev B.
5. As per 4 , but include any other useful updates.
Others have been this way before, so hopefully there is an Elmer who can recommend a suitable approach. I have followed this forum for about 9 months and continue to be amazed at the help and encouragement postings produce.
Thank you.
