Hisashi: Dennis: As far as I can tell, there have been no firmware updates specifically released for the K3/0 or the K3/I0-mini on the Elecraft website.
In the “Firmware and Software” page (http://www.elecraft.com/software/elecraft_software_page.htm <http://www.elecraft.com/software/elecraft_software_page.htm>), there aren’t any firmware packages specifically identified for the K3/0 and K3/0-Mini. In the Manuals and Downloads page (http://www.elecraft.com/K2_Manual_Download_Page.htm <http://www.elecraft.com/K2_Manual_Download_Page.htm>) there is a “K3-Remote” selection: -The latest K3-Remote Owners Manual (PDF) was released on 3 APR 14 (http://www.elecraft.com/manual/K3%20Remote%20Owner's%20Manual%20%20Rev%20D.pdf <http://www.elecraft.com/manual/K3%20Remote%20Owner's%20Manual%20%20Rev%20D.pdf>) -The manual (Page 22) makes clear that the K3 Utility is compatible with the K3/0 and K3/0-Mini: "From time to time, new features may be made available to K3/0, K3/0-Mini and K3 owners via firmware upgrades that you can download and install. Please visit the Elecraft K3 software page (www.elecraft.com/K3/k3_software.htm) to obtain our free firmware download application, the K3 Utility. This program runs on PCs, Macs, and Linux platforms.” The document on page 22 also explains how to determine the unit’s firmware and serial number: "Use the K3/0, K3/0-Mini or K3 CONFIG menu’s FW REVS menu entry to determine your firmware revision. The serial number of your K3/0, K3/0-Mini or K3, if needed, can be obtained using the SER NUM menu entry. This is the serial number of the K3/0, K3/0-Mini or K3 at the control site. It is not the serial number of the equipment used at the remote site.” By “remote site” this is defined as the K3 that the K3/0 or K3/0-Mini is connected and the “control site” is where the operator is located (K3/0 and K3/0-mini). See “List of Terms” on page 4 of the “K3-Remote Owners Manual.” Since the “K3-Remote Manual” is now over four years old and an updated document has not been released, it would also seem that the firmware installed on the K3/0-Remote devices hasn't been updated. That said, the manual does not clearly state whether a separate firmware package is used by the K3/0 and K3/0-Mini versus the K3/K3S. The wording could be interpreted to suggest that the same firmware package is used for both the “Remote” and “Control” devices. Perhaps Wayne, N6KR or Don, W3FPR can clarify this for us. 73, Barry Baines, WD4ASW > On Jul 26, 2018, at 11:27 AM, Hisashi T Fujinaka <ht...@twofifty.com> wrote: > > Did you hear anything?
