K2 - KDSP2 firmware version?
Locked
 
|
Good day.
My K2 (SN 1872, rev A, firmware 2.04P 1.09) is equipped with a KDSP2 revision DSP 03.10 / CTL 3.10. Three questions: 1.) What is the current KDSP2 firmware revision? 2.) Would I benefit from an upgrade? (I operate almost exclusively CW.) 3.) What would an upgrade cost me? Tnx es 73, Eric WD8RIF http://home.frognet.net/~mcfadden/wd8rif/radio.htm |

Eric,
You have the latest firmware installed. Yes, there is a slight difference between MCU 2.04P and 2.04r. That one change was to remove the selection for the sidetone source. Many users would suddenly loose the sidetone because the related menu entry had been inadvertently changed. If that one change is desirable for you, you can replace the MCU. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/16/2011 1:37 PM, wd8rif wrote: > Good day. > > My K2 (SN 1872, rev A, firmware 2.04P 1.09) is equipped with a KDSP2 > revision DSP 03.10 / CTL 3.10. > > Three questions: > > 1.)

Hello, Don.
Thank you for the reply to my forum posting. > You have the latest firmware installed.

Mine, which I purchased used and installed in my K2 last weekend, is version DSP 03.10 / CTL 3.10. I notice the manual shows DSP 3.16 / CTL 3.00. 73, Eric -- William Eric McFadden, WD8RIF Athens, Ohio http://mcfaddenphoto.com |

Now I am confused too. The Elecraft website (in the Order Firmware
section) lists 3.10 as the latest KDSP2 firmware. Maybe Lyle and Eric can figure out what is right - either the order page needs to be updated, or the manual has an error. Sorry, but I don't know the answer. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/16/2011 3:25 PM, wd8rif wrote: > Hello, Don. > > Thank you for the reply to my forum posting. > >> You have the latest firmware installed.

If the website shows 3.10 as being the latest, the manual must be in error. 73, Eric > > 73, > Don W3FPR > > On 11/16/2011 3:25 PM, wd8rif wrote: >> Hello, Don. >> >> Thank you for the reply to my forum posting. >> >>> You have the latest firmware installed.

KDSP2 has two firmware versions associated with it: the Control board
(CTL) which interfaces internally to the auxbus of the radio, and the DSP, which interfaces only with the control board. The latest versions are: CTL 3.10 DSP 3.18 There are release notes or similar on the website about these -- perhaps in addenda to the K2 or KDSP2 manuals. I don't have the information handy about what changed, but I think it had to do with rare instances of timing conflicts if you have the KNB2 installed and the KDSP2. This was last changed several years ago. 73, Lyle KK7P > Hello, Don. > >> Now I am confused too.
