Subject: Re: [Elecraft] [K3] firmware update notification
Could I request that a very short notification to the Elecraft reflector
(this one) be made when K3 firmware is updated, please.
Just a short note like
"Today we released updated firmware for the K3"
would be sufficient. All K3 owners will know to use their update tool to
get
it (or know were to look on web) and any info about the upgrade should be
in
the release notes (please Elecraft, do ensure info about the upgrade is
well
documented in the notes). So there should be no need for a long note about
the update disturbing non K3 owners.
I agree with David on this. While I think it is admirable to maintain a
separate mailing list for K3 owners, I think it is highly possible for some
folks to slip through the crack--at least temporarily. All of us should be
monitoring the reflector, and I think it is much more efficient to give just
a short notice here. If you want to do both, that's fine too. Of course,
we can also keep checking the firware section on the website, but that
involves a lot of trips there with no results. Besides, just because you
don't have your K3 yet doesn't mean you aren't interesting in knowing what's
happening with the firmware. I would think the announcement, along with a
brief description of its content, would be not only appropriate, but
appreciated by most folks on the list. If not, there is always the delete
key.
