Ken, All good points and must be done to take full advantage of the KPA's capabilities. The V1.11 threw me too. I have been communicating with Elecraft on a separate issue on the K3/PR6/KPA compatibility and they have noted the highest (Non Released) Version is 1.09. I even checked earlier this AM to see what was actually on the Elecraft Site as far as Firmware Download Version and it is "still" as V1.02. This is what my KPA came with about two weeks ago. I do not know where the 1.11 came from unless Elecraft generated another Beta Version and sent it out seperately.
