OK Wayne and all the rest: I don't hang on the list eagerly waiting for
the latest firmware update. After I got my K3 kit [#642], I was
inundated with firmware updates. Most were important and meant
something to me, I knew I'd bought in early and expected this. As time
passed, the update frequency declined [Yea!] and many were for
accessories or features I don't use and never will, and I for one am
very glad the update frequency is decreasing. My radio works, I have
learned how to use nearly all the knobs and switches, and I'm really
happy with it as it is. I did the big K3/KPA500/KAT500 update
reluctantly, and only because I know one of the KPA500 engineers and he
demanded that I do it.
I won't update my K2 firmware, even if you pay me to do it, my K2 does
exactly what I want it to do and I'm not messing with that. Other than
the 30/80 module, I don't think there has been a firmware update to the
KX1 and that's just fine with me too.
I'm an engineer, I don't know much about ergonomics, and I wondered
about the date on the post, but every radio I've ever had, including the
RME45 and SX28 receivers and the ARC-5 transmitters has had a learning
curve. My FT-847 is way harder to understand than my K3.

And don't worry, there will be firmware updates for all K-line gear
