Hi all, The KX3, like the KX1, is usable by blind operators, thanks to an audio-Morse interface that can be turned on/off in the menu. Sighted operators may find the interface to be helpful, too, especially for mobile operation, since it allows eyes-free use of the radio.
The KX3's implementation is not yet complete. But we just improved it by making the following changes: * Holding CWT switch on power-up turns on audio-Morse feedback and sets speed to 20 WPM. (The other way to do this is via the SW TONE menu entry, which allows you to set different code speeds. However, menu entries themselves are not yet supported by the audio-Morse interface.) * Switch activation truncates any audio-Morse output already in progress. * 'R' substituted for '.' and 'T' substituted for ‘0’ to speed up frequency reports, etc. * SWR reported after TUNE or ATU TUNE ("SWRnn.n"). * The receiver is now muted during all audio-Morse output. If you're interested in testing a field-test release of the KX3 firmware that includes the above changes, please contact me directly. 73, Wayne N6KR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
