MCU 2.10 / DSP 1.81, 6-22-08

* SYNTHESIZER: Tuning and band-change improvements (prevents ERR PL1, etc.).

* NARROW FILTERS IMPROVED: Gain balanced for "FIR" filters (CW and data modes).

* NOISE BLANKER can now be used with AGC turned off.

* DENOISER (NR): Gain balance improved in SSB and AM modes.

* EXT ALC voltages adjusted to match resistors called out in EXT ALC mod document
  (on the K3 mods page).

* TX/RX switching time improvement in DATA-S mode ("SYNC Data", for AMTOR, etc.).

PC Control Command Changes (for application software developers):

* "PC" (PWR READ) IN K22 MODE now supplies correct value for QRO (KPA3) on/off.

* “FA/FB” BAND CHANGE now saves mode for old band before switching to new band. This prevents problems with per-mode bandwidth, etc., following band changes.

* “MD” COMMAND FIXED: On 6 m, CW norm/reverse were being reported backwards. On all bands, DATA A and PSK-D were reversed for both get and set (AFSK A and FSK-D were correct). NOTES: When an “MD” command is used to switch between data normal and reverse, it applies to both DATA A and PSK-D (if either of these was
  in effect), or AFSK A and FSK-D (if either of these was in effect).

NOTE: An extension to the "MD" command is in the works to directly get/set K3 data modes. Meanwhile, you can use “SWH43;” to emulate pressing the DATA MD switch, then “DB” to retrieve the data mode text string from VFO B, and “UPB;” / “DNB;” to change the mode.
