KPA100 and ROM chips

[Steven Pituch]

Hi all,
Does the KPA100 kit include new ROM chips for the K2 or do you also need to
buy the FWK2MCIO upgrade?  My MCU is 1.04d and the IOC is 1.02. I seem to
remember reading in the online manual, well.....I thought it implied that
the chips were included in the KPA100 kit.  

72 and a half,
Steve, W2MY/5, K2 #402

Steve,

Elecraft normally supplies any needed firmware upgrades with the purchase of
a new option.  It would be wise when talking with Lisa (sales) to point out
that you believe you need firmware upgrades.

Elecraft does try to keep track of which K2s are at which level, but with
K2s changing hands, and the it is an insurmountable task to have all the
information up to date.  All I can say for certain is that Elecraft does
have a record of the 2 K2s that I own - and I keep them posted when I order
an upgrade so they know which serial number it should be tracked on.

73,
Don W3FPR

If your MCU FW is older than 2.02A, the KPA100 comes with free MCU and IOC
upgrades to the latest version.

But wait, there's more!

If your KSB2 FW is older than 1.06, you also get a free KSB2 FW upgrade
(refer page 22 in the KPA100 rev c manual). This is required because the ALC
in the old KSB2 FW is calibrated for 0.1-10W not 0.1-100W.

The KSB2 FW upgrade was missing from my order, but an e-mail to
[hidden email] had it sent out tout de suite. To anyone ordering the
KPA100 I recommend that you list your existing MCU, IOC and KSB2 versions on
your order, and specifically request free upgrades to the latest versions.
