Thanks for the clarification on updating the K3/0 or K3/0-Mini firmware by using the K3 firmware.  

Question:   Once you updated the K3/0 or K3/0-Mini with new firmware, did you notice any changes in capabilities of the “control site” equipment (K3/0) or compatibility with the K3/K3S ‘remote site’ equipment (which presumably has newer firmware as well)?  

I ask because I’ve been fairly diligent about updating the K3 firmware from time-to-time but haven’t updated my K3/0-Mini devices at all (I have a device at two different locations).  The oldest K3/0-Mini was purchased in August 2014.  I’m wondering how critical the updates are to the “K3/0” devices.  From what I can tell, the K3/K3S firmware revision documentation doesn’t differentiate between features that impact the K3/K3S versus what impacts the “K3/0” devices.  

73,
