I take a wait and see attitude and I update my firmware once every 6 months or so. My original firmware worked quite well and I was actually pleased with the radio's performance before upgrading anything. Of course, there are new features and enhancements in new releases, but they are not mandatory by any means.
If you don't have a problem, don't upgrade. 73, Bob W5OV -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lee Trout Sent: Saturday, October 17, 2009 7:31 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] K3 Beta Firmware Thanks for your response Dave and Don, but I do not agree. I see too many complaints of one sort or another on the reflector about problems with beta releases. I don't like computers and use them minimally and thus have no interest in loading in a update to experiment with, then reverting back to earlier version in case of problems -- that is what beta testers enjoy doing. And I suspect there are quite a few guys like me. If everyone is supposed to load the beta releases, what is the purpose of a regular release? And Don, has there been no stable beta release sine May that could be issued as the new production release? 73, Lee (K9CM) ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
