In reference to (email below), the observations are also noticed here. First, thanks Lyle for looking at it. Let us know if we're hearing things?
I had run 3.97 since I purchased the K3 (2nd K3), and was reluctant to upgrade Firmware. Fear of nightmare SS QRM made me decide to feast on the new DSP to see if I could survive the maelstrom. Wrong. The audio gaps are there as described below. Further, it occurs also when adjusting WIDTH even when on the same xtal. I noticed it on 4.22, and 4.19. I'm back to 3.97. I prefer releases that are outta-beta; I believe that K3s are shipped with the latest release that's gold-disc worthy. I haven't figured out if the release numbers mean anything or not. Or how to tell a blood dripping leading edge release vs. a version that has been regressed against the backlog in Gnats. I've used K3's for a long time (2 years), so unless something fundamental has changed there is definitely a unique change to the code that creates a silent audio (did I just write that) gap when making certain adjustments: WIDTH on the same xtal (not the gap you hear when you flip from FL1 to FL2 when adjusting WIDTH). Or activating NOTCH, etc.. Gary at Elecraft did a fine job trying to help. No worries Gary. But I think there's something to look at here. This isn't expected behavior. And, while we're talking about NOTCH -- How many of you would like this: Whatever your NOTCH setting is, it is preserved on power cycle similar to the way NB, NR, AGC, etc.. are preserved on power cycle. 73 and DX, -jeff Message: 27 Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2010 11:23:58 -0500 From: Guy Olinger K2AV <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3: Latest Beta FW - Vox, TX Gate and Notch observations in ss To: "N2TK, Tony" <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Lyle is looking into this. 73, Guy.
