KPC-3+ / KPC-9612+ Service Bulletin
Notice to Kantronics Customers
Owners of Kantronics KPC-3+ and KPC-9612+ radio modems with version 9.0 software:
Kantronics has recently become aware of an anomaly in the version 9.0 software for KPC-3+ and KPC-9612+ units. The anomaly is only in APRS DIGI applications. In the APRS DIGI application, UIDUPE, UIDIGI, UIFLOOD, and UITRACE did not provide duplicate checking for APRS packets as originally designed.
Kantronics is offering a new version of the KPC-3+ and KPC-9612+ software, version 9.1, to address the problem. The new version is available for KPC-3+ and KPC-9612+ modems for $40 per unit, plus $5.00 for shipping and handling.
The new (version 9.1) software does not offer any feature changes other than providing duplicate checking for APRS packets in the APRS DIGI applications.
*Additional shipping cost to ship to AK, HI, and International customers will apply.
