Thanks to all the replied offline. I now have the latest manual (D9 version) and the release notes for the firmware. Let's see if it helps my pull VP8ORK out of the noise on 80m tonight.
I did work them on 40m CW and SSB last night with the K3 and an ALS-1300 amp. 73, - Craig, AE6RR -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Craig - AE6RR Sent: Tuesday, February 01, 2011 9:20 AM To: [email protected]; 'Jim Harris' Cc: 'Elecraft Email' Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 APF Problem I am still a new K3 user and learning the radio. I have looked through the manual a couple of times and I cannot find out how to turn APF on. I must be missing that. It sounds like a useful feature and might help pull VP8ORK out of the noise. 73, - Craig, AE6RR K3 #4877 -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft Sent: Monday, January 31, 2011 10:21 AM To: Jim Harris Cc: Elecraft Email Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 APF Problem If you enable advanced mode in the utility preferences, you can chose to only load specific files. Be careful with this, as DSP, CPU, FPF files etc from a release must all match the release set. That's why we recommend clicking on the 'load all files' button. 73, Eric WA6HHQ --- On 1/31/2011 10:04 AM, Jim Harris wrote: > Vic and all, > > This morning I've reloaded all the K3 firmware and the problem has disappeared.

There is a feature to upload only new revisions but nothing to reload only a single firmware. Second, zip a complete set of compatible firmware files into one file, unzip it in the utility and load from those files only. This could eliminate the problem I had that took several emails and three days to correct. Of course, individual files could be left on the server for those desiring to download individual files. > > The APF does give a peak to weaker CW so it is a definite improvement. I noticed very little ringing. It makes the audio sound a bit more crisp making it easier to hear. Guess that is a result of enhancing the "Q" someplace as has been previously discussed. > > Vic, thank you for helping resolve the problem with my K3. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
