If you purchase a K3, you will definitely need to have a PC (or
possibly other types of computers--we're working on that) in order to
obtain firmware upgrades. The firmware is upgraded via a connection
from the radio to your computer, not by installing a new IC, as with
our other transceivers.
This is important for two reasons:
1. The firmware will be improved over time, with new features, etc.
2. Option modules that you install *after* taking delivery of the K3
may require a firmware upgrade. For example, the subreceiver may not be
ready at the time of initial shipment (it would be ready shortly
thereafter). Once you install it, you may need to upgrade the firmware
to use it.
Upgrading the firmware is easy (typically just one mouse click).
Virtually any internet connection speed will suffice for downloading
the files from our web site. This is all done without operator
intervention.
