Can we get access to the software that runs the controller and menus, so if
we wanted different menu/switch functionality, it could be changed?

Hi Tom,

    The K2 firmware is proprietary and is so carefully protected that not
even the object code is disclosed.  Yes, having access to the object code
would make it possible for users to upgrade their firmware electronically,
rather than having to purchase replacement MCUs.  However, it would also
make it very easy to clone the K2, thereby stealing the design plans for
the K2's hardware and software, which are Elecraft's intellectual property.
