... I make the suggestion that more time be spent proofing firmware and DSP upgrades and for Elecraft to employ software IV&V.
Bob, K9PAG With all due respect, and perhaps a bit too blunt, BETA is BETA. The OFFICIAL (production) release has not changed since I received my K3. If you are averse to risk and finding a bug, then just don't do beta. Otherwise join the fray and find out what it's like to have responsive programmers, and half a thousand "field testers" working on beta releases (and KNOWING they are beta releases). I've been in the software business for four decades and do not perceive the Elecraft procedures as substandard, or lacking in procedure. Only in the government and regulated monopolies (read the old Bell System) or life-dependent products can one get away with testing something for four years before commercial release. Also a K3 is not the FAA Flight Service System and peoples lives do not depend on it. Just their contest scores :>) -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Firmware-and-DSP-Upgrades-tp783052p784815.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
