Richard, Normally, the reflector does not see the testing results of Alpha firmware. In this particular case, the alpha level firmware was sent to a number of folks who requested it, and some of them reported their observations on the reflector. Normally, the alpha firmware is available to the Firmware Field Test group, and the reports and observations (and opinions) are handled on a private email reflector. In this particular case, several K3 users were interested in the latest firmware (and Elecraft was interested in their feedback), but those users reported their findings on the Elecraft reflector rather than privately to Wayne and Eric.
Sorry for your confusion, but it is all good info in the field of firmware development to improve your K3 performance (usability, operations, etc.). Consider it a "work in progress". If you are interested in joining the group testing the "latest and greatest", a note to Wayne or Eric may get you included. There is always room for more testing with a greater variety of K3 configurations. 73, Don W3FPR Richard Thorpe wrote: > I noticed for the first time a discussion of "wonders" and "glitches" of > alpha software for the first time on the reflector.
