KX1 adding 3080 and firmware board question

[Curron HILL]

I am about to add a 30 80 board to my KX1 which currently only has 20 and 40 meters.   The serial number of my unit is 25xx.  It seems from reading the Elecraft site I will not have to change the firmware chip with a serial number as late as mine.  Is that correct?

Thanks all, 73,
Don KB3DRW

Don,

It is likely that your firmware is current.

You need firmware 1.02 for the KXB3080 option.  You can easily check
what is installed in your KX1 - hold any button while powering on and
the firmware level will be briefly displayed.  There are only 2 versions
for the KX1 - 1.01 and 1.02.

If you have 1.01, then request the firmware from Elecraft - since you
are adding an option which requires it, the firmware IC should be
provided at no cost.

Thanks Don for the info?   I was looking for a way to do that.  I have 1.02 so I am good.  I can now install the board and not worry about the firmware.
