I have added support for K3 beta v4.42 to LP-Bridge and posted v0.9.994 update on my LP-Bridge page at http://www.telepostinc.com/LPB.html
I tested this with the latest HRD 4.1 beta and it seems to be solid. I also added the SMH command to the "speed governed" list of commands to minimize the chance of this command overloading the K3 serial buffer. You should switch back to LP-Bridge and not use LPB2, because LPB2 does not limit the polling rate of SMH as LP-Bridge does. In general, K3 users should use LP-Bridge. LPB2 was mainly designed to support other radios. 73, Larry N8LP On 11/5/2011 12:00 PM, [email protected] wrote: > Date: Sat, 5 Nov 2011 06:29:22 -0700 (PDT) > From: ai6ii<[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 Beta 4.42 and LP Bridge > To:[email protected] > Message-ID:<[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > > The story continues....
