I'm not sure if it's just not possible for them to squeeze out anymore performance as far as K band goes with the firmware they are using or what (I'll leave that to Mike B to answer) but I just wish that they'd have improved it, especially since the older Pro models before the Pro78. The Pro73 I had before gives pretty much the same performance on K band as the Pro78 I have, where as the Pro78 blows the 73 away when it comes to Ka band.
