If it's a KPC-3+ ver 9.0 and you are using it as a "stand-alone"
digipeater, it should be upgraded to version 9.1 as ver 9.0 didn't do
dupe checking. If you aren't using it as a digipeater, it probably 
doesn't matter. Comments anyone? According to the Kantronics site...

   www.kantronics.com/support/kpcbulletin.html
   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.

They go on to say that if you get a ver 9.1 ROM directly from
Kantronics, it will set you back $40 USD + $5 shipping.
