Kobo Glo N437-KU-BK-K-EP vs N437-KJ-BK-S-EP

Omega6nc · 04-05-2017, 09:41 PM

Hi all,
My Kobo glo has been stolen and I'm looking after buying a Glo HD on the web. The main idea is to install again XCsoar and a GPS Vario module on it and to use it as a free flying instrument.
My question is in the title of this post, as I can find two types of Kobo models, with one at half price. I wonder what is the diference between both of them? Kobo Glo N437-KU-BK-K-EP and N437-KJ-BK-S-EP. Are they internaly similar in a way I can modify both of them for the flight or should I avoid one of them?
Hope you'll be able to help me, thank you for you answers.
All the best to you.

I'm afraid I have no idea about the answer to your question, but I can tell you that N437-KU-BK-K-EP is the Product Number on the box of my GloHD which was bought from the online store of a well-known UK High Street company in June 2015.

I'm pretty sure there isn't a real difference. I haven't seen anything in the firmware that suggests there are multiple versions of the Glo HD. If there was a hardware revision, it wasn't anything we noticed. It's probably a batch identifier.
