Dave, you can go back and forth between 3.0 and 3.1, no problems. The 3.0 and 3.1 firmware can be download from K1EL: https://hamcrafters2.com/WinKeyer_31.html
WK3tools is the only software you need to upload/update the firmware, be aware you need a specific WK3tools for the 3.1 and a different one for 3.0. From a CW stand point there is no much difference between the two version, but 3.1 enables the RTTY/FSK function that is fantastic. I hope Paul is considering to look at the code, maybe 3.0 will not be available anymore in the near future and this will push DX4WIN in a corner. ---------------------- 73 de Max, N5NHJ (I8NHJ) Thursday, May 23, 2019, 10:26:08 PM, you wrote: > Max > How do I get a copy of the earlier firmware , is it easy to install via > the USB port or is it a chip replacement? and what are the drawbacks > Dave > NR1DX > On 5/23/2019 6:06 PM, Max Mucci, N5NHJ (I8NHJ) wrote: >> Dave, >> I'm sorry for the delay, I've been busy all the day long. >> There is not any way to have the WK 3.1 working with DX4WIN, I asked Paul to >> fix this, I don't know if he is doing something. >> Only work around is to rollback/replace the current 3.1 firmware with the >> 3.0 that works. >> Let me know if you need any more help. >> Thursday, May 23, 2019, 2:42:41 PM, you wrote: >> >>> OK I found Max's post in the archive with a quoted response from K1EL >>> ...who points the finger a DX4WIN (not unexpected ...he said ..she >>> said?).
