firmware update?

[ON4WIX]

Hi all,

I'm new to this list and looking into building my own K2.
This evening I was browsing the European distributor's online shop as I was getting ready to order the parts I thought were necessary.
One of the options offered on the page is the firmware update, valued at 45,00 EUR.
Is this only necessary for older K2 models or is it necessary to order this upgrade even with a brand new kit?

Thanks for shedding a light on this subject. I can't wait to start building this baby...

Hi

All new Elecraft products will have the latest firmware in effect at the
time. The upgrade is so people with older K2's can add the newest features
if they want. In some cases when adding an option module an older K2 will
require the upgrade to make the option function. Don't worry you will get
the latest firmware included with your K2 and any options you may order at
the same time.

Glenn,

It is not necessary to order the firmware update - you will receive the
latest firmware with your new K2 kit.
