John,

If your KX1 has 4 bands, you have firmware 1.02 - it is required to support 80 meters.
That is also the latest firmware revision.

There was a change in the encoder used in the KX1 a while back. The new one has a tighter 'feel' to it. You might want to consider changing it. The encoder is not difficult to change if you cut off the pins on the old one (cut close to the encoder body) and remove the remaining bits one at a time.

Hi folks.....

Just obtained a KX1. Covers the four bands, with built-in ATU and paddles. I've already had fun with it. I can't seem to bring upn the the firmware version by pressing a switch while powering up? What am I doing wrong?

Also, the encoder seems a tad "loose". It works perfectly fine. Is there an upgrade or is that pretty standard?
