indicating the KDSP2 microcontroller firmware version. In this example, it is 3.00. If the MCU firmware
is prior to version 3.00, you will be returned to the KDSP2 main menu two seconds later. If the MCU
firmware version is 3.00 or later, then after another two seconds you will see a Flash memory checksum

FCS FFAd


followed by the EEPROM checksum

EEP 8AC1



Two seconds later, you will be returned to the KDSP2 main menu. The numbers you see may be different,
as the firmware versions evolve.

Filter Status Display

The K2 provides a filter status display, invoked by holding

XFIL

+

AGC

. This displays the current

XFIL and AFIL settings. For example, in CW mode, you might see

FL2 0.7c


followed by

AF1


The second display is Audio Filter and number. This display does not distinguish between modes, showing
the DSP filter as AF rather than CF, SF, or RF.

i

NOTE: The AF portion of the Filter Status Display will display only if you have pressed the

AFIL

button at least once since you turned the K2 on. If the

AFIL

button has not yet been

pressed, the Filter Status Display will only provide XFIL information.

i

NOTE: When you change modes, the Filter Status Display will show the AF value of the last

mode you used in which you pressed the

AFIL

button. Thus, when changing modes, the Filter

Status Display loses synchronization with the KDSP2 and may display incorrect AF information..
