Hi Wayne

The firmware loaded ok here using the new KX3 utility. The noise I reported yesterday (plasma??) was still on 80 & 40 and I was able to confirm that the noise blanker did at least remove much of the pulse content of the noise with a setting of between 10 and 12. Unfortunately there was no activity on those bands at the time so I was unable to see what effect the NB had on the received speach quality. As luck would have it last night and this morning 80 & 40 were both quiet QRM wise although what pulse noise was apparent in amongst the atmospheric noise was eliminated by the NB at a setting of around 7-8. I checked for the reported error message when recalling a stored frequency but that was unable to replicate it either with the RCL or STORE functions.
Looking good!

We've enhanced the KX3 noise blanker, with 15 level settings and improved 
strong-signal performance. If you experience a lot of QRN at your location and 
would like to try the field-test firmware release, please email me directly.
