[Elecraft] KX1 adding 3080 and firmware board question

[Don Wilhelm]

Don,

It is likely that your firmware is current.

You need firmware 1.02 for the KXB3080 option.  You can easily check 
what is installed in your KX1 - hold any button while powering on and 
the firmware level will be briefly displayed.  There are only 2 versions 
for the KX1 - 1.01 and 1.02.

If you have 1.01, then request the firmware from Elecraft - since you 
are adding an option which requires it, the firmware IC should be 
provided at no cost.
