Compared to the many others that have weighed in already, I am a few days late taking a look at the new firmware. It may have been worth the wait. In a nutshell, the new 4.50/2.74 works extremely well. I've been waiting for my K3 to really be able to perform in deep pileups, like I had thought it should. With the new firmware, it may be very close now. Even though it may be a few weeks (until CQWPX CW) when I can make a full evaluation, in fairly deep pileup conditions, I don't need extended testing to see a big improvement already. K6LL mentioned "the difference is immediately obvious". I fully agree. The ability to be able to extend THR settings has noticeably cleaned things up. My sweet spot seems to be THR=15 and SLP=0 or 2. More evaluation to come. Tnx Elecraft Team for looking into this issue and releasing this "pre-Beta". 73, Bob K8IA Arizona Outlaws Contest Club ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected]
