K2 Firmware Upgrade???

[Brian Wingert]

My 1999, serial number 200-300, Elecraft K2 was last updated with the "A to
B" mod in the winter of 2007-2008.

 

The radio has a dozen mods and fixes and seems to work great.

 

I seem to recall that there are 4 or 5 pieces of firmware that are out of
date.

 

Is there any compelling reason to update my firmware?  

 

Am I missing anything?  Will an update mess anything up?

 

Please advise.

Hi Brian,

The K2 firmware hasn’t been updated in quite awhile. If you’re not noticing any issues, then you probably don’t need to update anything.

If you’re really concerned, you could contact support to determine how to check all of the revisions.

Brian,

If all is working OK, there is no need to update, but you might want to
look at the firmware update notes to see if there are any features or
functions added that may be of interest to you.  If, so, update the
firmware to obtain those functions/features.
