What firmware upgrades are needed to add a KPA100 to a K2 (#2592, Rev A)?
Current firmware version is 2.01H 1.02 (as shown in the display on power
up).
I have purchased (in addition to the KPA100) to bring the K2 up to Rev
B:
K2ATOBKT (K2 rev A to B upgrade parts)
BFOMDKT (K2 BFO & PLL upgrade)
E850138 (K2 temperature compensated PLL upgrade)
XFILMDKIT (2nd filter upgrade for the K2)
The last one is not necessary, I know.
Upon reading the KPA100 manual, it appears that I need to purchase new
firmware (K2FWMCIO $44) to make the upgrade work. It seems to me when
the KPA100 first came out, this firmware was part of the kit. What
happened?
I have an KSB2 (ssb upgrade, Rev D board, 1.04 firmware). Does this also
need an upgrade? (FWSSB, $29)
I noticed that there is firmware for the K2 tuner (KAT2, $29). Is this
necessary also?
