Lee, In my experience, there have been many beta releases that could have been named as a production release. My guess is that in the 'busy-ness' of the summer and autumn with vacations and all (Wayne and Lyle do need some R & R), none were selected. The creation of a formal production release requires paperwork to be processed for the manufacturing end of the business, so it is more complex than just 'naming' it a production release. The world of K3 firmware is vastly different than the computer world of operating system upgrades.
May I suggest you try the new 3.44 release and call it your 'personal release level' to take advantage of the added functions. You can always back-level easily if you have a problem. Alternately, monitor the reflector here for a week or so, and any problems will be revealed by those already using it. There have been no problems found and reported by the Field Test group, so I expect few problems from other users. OTOH, if you are satisfied with the functions available in your current firmware, then why upgrade? No one will force you to upgrade. The only consequence is if you report a problem that has been fixed in a subsequent release (either production or beta), you will simply be encouraged to upgrade in order to fix that problem. 73, Don W3FPR Lee Trout wrote: > <snip> > > 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
