Manual File Transfer

If it is inconvenient for you to access the internet from the computer attached to your KX2, but you have access to another computer that can access the internet, you may update your KX2 firmware in two phases:

  1. Use an internet browser or FTP client program to copy firmware files from Elecraft's file server to a removable storage device such as a USB "keychain" flash memory device.
  2. Take the removable storage device to a computer that is connected to your KX2. Use the KX2 Utility to send firmware to your KX2.

An up-to-date KX2 Utility revision may be required. If the internet-connected computer is some distance from your KX2, consider copying the current KX2 Utility setup program file to the removable storage device so that can be installed on the computer connected to your KX2.
