It has been a long time, and my memory may be fuzzy, but I recall that the major firmware change to support the KAT2 was the change the automatically throttled the power back to 2 watts when pressing TUNE. Keeping the power lower extends the life of the relays by minimizing the current that they have to switch while searching for a match.
That may be the difference between level 1.04 and 1.05, but I can't say for certain. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > OK K2 gurus, help me satisfy my curiosity. > > I'm about to install the KAT2 in a rig that has revision > 1.04D firmware.
