Thanks Don,
I started with sales and they pointed me at support which pointed out the
firmware purchase site to both myself and the sales person. I suspect that
policy is no longer in effect.
Also thanks for letting me know the other software is for the tuner. I didn't
look that closely at my
Gary,
You need KX1 FW upgrade 1.02. The KXAT1 firmware does not need to change.
You ordered an *option* for the KX1 that needs the updated firmware to
support it. Elecraft has always offered the firmware upgrade in those
cases free of additional cost. I believe that policy is still in place
My radio will have the 30/80 board and the tuner when I am done - (i.e. I have
both).
Thanks and 73,

They are for two separate components. KX1 1.02 is for the base KX1.
KXAT1 1.2 is for the KXAT1 ATU. If you have the ATU option, probably
good to get it. They're for different components so they have different
dates. If you don'thave the KXAT1 option, you have no place to put the

Howdy,
I bought a KX1 at hamfest recently. It did not have the 30/80 board so I
ordered it from Elecraft. Now I need to order the firmware as my radio had an
old version. Customer service pointed me at this sight:

With external 13.8V input, power lowered to 5W at 3 minutes 48 seconds.
With internal battery, at 8 minutes, the PA temperature was 60C.

I figured out the problem and the solution.
If you connect to the KPA500 software from another client and you do NOT
provide the password, you are connect in a 'listen only' mode where you
only see what is going on with the amplifier.
Once you have provided the password, then you have full c

This is counter to what I had thought!
This makes perfect sense. The closer the PA operates to s

Below is a post from Wayne last year stating they plan to make the K-Pod

Hi All,
I am a little surprised there continues to be so much conversation about
using the Heil Pro Set with Elecraft rigs. Of course, much of it probably
is from those who already have a "Pro Set", and maybe others are just super
loyal to Heil stuff. Heil does make good equipment, but I thi
Tom,
I do not know, but I would expect the screw size to be either 4-40 or if
smaller, 2-56. Elecraft uses US sized screws.

Greetings,
I've been plagued with an issue involving the KXPD2 paddles contact posts,
namely the posts coming loose and the screws so loose that the posts
actually

through four sets
of these paddles and they all succumb to the sa

This is fairly typical. I’ve seen some as high as 8 minutes.
Some tips related to PA temperature:
- Make sure all right-side hardware is tightened
- Running from a lower supp
This change was made very early on in production and is not significant in
terms of thermal performance.

Mitch,
I recall that the rate difference was discussed and decided to be the
best during Field Test of the K-Pod.
I don't recall any attempts to have the firmware match them. You would
have to search the archives for that information.

Hi Don,
Wasn't the K-Pod tuning rate to match the K3 rate added to the future
firmware list shortly after the K-Pod came out? I don't understand the
design rationale to tune at the 1/2 rate. I would like to see it match the
rate or have a configuration setting.
