Release 32 has been beta tested (R32.BETA2) and has now been moved to production status.
See release notes below, or on our K4 software page, or view them in the updater on the K4 itself. (For your convenience, the list below shows all significant changes since production release 31.) Software development is continuing in multiple areas, including remote control. 73, Wayne N6KR * * * ==================== R32 (PRODUCTION) ====================== December 13, 2022 - SSB/ESSB TRANSMIT AUDIO LOW-FREQUENCY RESPONSE IMPROVED: The nominal SSB transmit audio low-frequency rolloff can now be moved down from about 200 Hz to 100 Hz. (Amplitude at 100 Hz then increases by nearly 20 dB.) This selection is made using the new "TX Audio LF Cutoff, SSB" menu entry. IMPORTANT NOTES: (1) The 100 Hz selection is *always* applied in ESSB mode. (2) In addition to using this new SSB setting, you can control the transmit passband in all modes using TX EQ. (3) If you use USB or LSB for audio DATA modes such as PACTOR that require fast turnaround times, you should not use the 100 Hz SSB setting, because it slows turnaround by about 20 milliseconds. (The high-performance digital filter required to obtain a lower passband has additional "taps," resulting in greater delay.) - KPA1500 / KPA500 LOSS OF BUTTON PRESSES: In previous releases, some amp front panel button presses could be missed by the K4 due to the concurrent handling of other band-change activity. - RADIO LOCKUP DURING VFO MOVEMENT AT ~5600 KHZ: One operator discovered a radio lockup when moving the VFO in the vicinity of 5600-5620 kHz. This was due to incorrect lookup of ATU LC segment data, which has now been corrected. - TERMINATION OF DVR MESSAGES no longer causes occasional loss of mic audio. - REPEATER OFFSETS are now correctly applied to VFO B when in SPLIT. - IMPROVED EEPROM DATA VERIFICATION. -------------------------------- FOR SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS & MACROS -------------------------------- - The "TQX;" command now bypasses other command processing delays to provide a more real-time response during "TX;" / "RX;" command transitions. - DUPLICATE "TX;" COMMAND while in transmit mode no longer exits transmit. - ADDED "EE0;" command to reset all radio state and menu parameters to defaults, with the exception of factory calibration data. - ADDED "TQX" GET COMMAND (extension to "TQ" TX status query): If the GET query is "TQ;", then the K4 is considered to still be in transmit mode during the S-meter holdoff time (300 ms), even though receive audio can be heard. If the GET query is "TQX;", then the S-meter holdoff time is not considered to be part of the transmit state. This allows an application to find out more quickly when actual RF transmit has ended, which may result in a more responsive user interface (when playing DVR messages, for example). - ADDED "AG$+nnn" (AF gain increment/decrement). - ADDED "VC" command to properly handle configuration of per-mode coarse tuning steps. "VT" command also improved to correctly handle A/B VFO swaps, etc. - IMPROVED "#HWFC" command to allow modification of waterfall color mode for both panadapters on the external monitor. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
