Those firmware upgrades can be quick.  On 20 Nov 2017 G4SJP reported a problem with KX2 production firmware 2.81.  By 21 Nov 2017 new production firmware version 2.84 corrected the problem and was available for download.  Never would or could Asian ham rig makers respond that fast...if ever they responded in the product lifetime at all.

Asian ham rig makers seem universally to lack the intelligence to implement iambic mode A on any of their rigs.  The unfortunate owner is forced to use the abominable mode B, or to not use iambic keying at all.  Elecraft has always allowed selection of either mode.
