K3 beta-test firmware revision 2.80 (with DSP rev 1.99) is now available. See release notes below.
Please send any problem reports to [email protected]. For instructions on how to load beta firmware, please see: http://www.elecraft.com/K3/k3_software.htm We also recommend that you use the latest revision of K3 Utility, which can also be found on this page. 73, Wayne N6KR * * * MCU 2.80 / DSP 1.99, 1-23-2009 * AM POWER LEVEL NO LONGER DRIFTS: AM power setting is now more accurate, and doesn’t change over time. * AM TRANSMIT SIGNAL NO LONGER OVERMODULATED: AM ALC and audio signal levels have been adjusted to provide a very clean transmit signal. * DVR TERMINATION VIA PTT: Activating PTT will immediately stop DVR transmit message playback. * CWT (CW TUNING AID) ON/OFF STATE SAVED: If you turn CWT on, it will always turn on when you return to the applicable mode (e.g. CW). * MANUAL ATU L/C CHANGES ARE SAVED (per-band, per-antenna, just like when doing an auto-tune). Manual ATU adjustment is possible when CONFIG:KAT3 is set to LC SET (see owner’s manual). Previously, manual L/C changes were lost when the KAT3 mode was returned to AUTO or BYP. * ALC METERING AVAILABLE IN FM MODE: Previously, in FM mode the ALC meter scale was fixed at 7 bars. * CROSS-MODE SPLIT: When using cross-mode SPLIT (e.g. LSB/USB) with the sub RX ON, the use of TUNE would sometimes result in an incorrect sub receiver synthesizer frequency. * SPOT and PITCH switches work correctly with switch feedback tones enabled. Switch feedback tones are not used for these switches since a tone is generated anyway. Previously, the sidetone would sometimes not be heard. * XVx MENU ENTRY BEHAVIOR CORRECTED: Previously, adjusting these menu entries would sometimes change the mode or frequency of the VFOs. * VFO CTS MENU ENTRY: A change in the VFO counts-per-turn setting now takes effect immediately, rather than requiring a mode change or power cycle. --- http://www.elecraft.com _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
