Re: [Elecraft] K3 - new release of HRD
I stand corrected, thats very good to know! I really enjoy the HRD suite. As you suggest about all I use RigControl for is to provide DM-780 access to the K3. I use logbook on a laptop via the local LAN, very convenient. Rotator sends bearing info to the StationMaster, allowing control of virtual dipole ant arrays. I didn't see your call for development week... Anything I can do in the future let me know. 73 Steve AD0ES On Mar 3, 2014, at 9:14 AM, elecraft-requ...@mailman.qth.net wrote: I suspect HRD does very little testing of the K-line on their own, they'l only work on what K3/KX3 owners report.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - new release of HRD
Well we do but it's peer to peer. A lot of the button status not working is that the cat commands have no way to poll them. I'm working with David, Wayne and Eric on these issues... Here's our list of k3 fixes in the 6.2 public beta Fixed in next beta: (work around of firmware bugs) AFX - doesn't do anything. AGC - Off = it switches to fast not off Mode + - skips modes, but also skips lsb and usb and data. switches between cw and am only Mode - - Does the same as mode + Band + - skips bands when pressed Band - - skips bands when pressed Xfil - only selects two filters #2 and #4 skips filter #1 and #3 Freq Entrey - Does not work at all NB - will turn on, but cant turn it off. Meter - will not work NR - Does not work at all. Notch - only turns off but will not turn it on. CWT - Turn it on, but will not turn it off. Fine - Does not work at all Dual PB - Does not work Test - does not work. ALT ATU COURSE VOX RX ANT Firmware bugs in the K3 === PF1 - does not work PF2 - does not work Data does not work..

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - new release of HRD
Hi Folks, A cautionary note here. Some early-adopters of the HRD v6.2 Public Beta have reported problems after installation: some with rig connectivity and some with the logbook. Others have not have these problems. Set a System Restore point, and backup your logs, DM-780 macros, Rig Control macros, etc. prior to installing any HRD beta software. Beta support releases are not a high priority for HRD Support. I consider my K-Line and HRD to be my 'production system' and resist installing beta software or firmware on it.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - new release of HRD
! I suspect HRD does very little testing of the K-line on their own, they'l only work on what K3/KX3 owners report. Not true, Eric has been kind enough to give us both a K3 and a KX3, and yes, I do 'eat my own dog food', the K3 was used this weekend in the ARRL DX contest. Now, again let me make clear, some of the buttons do not have a way to see if they are on or off in the cat control of the K3, therefore, they won't light up, which is what Us and Elecraft are working on. Saying that, I still use the buttons on the radio for what I need. Now if you all are working remote, then that's a pretty big deal and of course, with time and patience, it will work the best we can get it to. A few months back, I posted I was having a K3 development week, and only 4 people responded with their issues... Im sure 95% of the HRD K3 users just use the Radio control for freq and mode for the HRD Logbook and DM-780.

Willi was a paid user of HRD. 6.2 is nothing but bugs. They call it a public release. They have now released the next Beta release which is supposed to fix some of the K3 problems. When I asked what they fixed I received absolutely no response. The 6.2 release is not compatible with LP-Bridge whereas previous versions were. I stopped upgrading at that point.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - new release of HRD
Thank you for all who posted and those that sent me emails. As I am only interested in rig control (physical limitations at the desk) I have written HRD off as far too complex (logging, rotor control, etc.) and not able to fully control the K3. I will continue using the old 5.xx version until I have had time to review the other offerings mentioned. Actually, I believe the yet to be released small external control panel for the K3 may be just the ticket. In the interim, I will chase the mouse.

Rick, Mike, Tim, Erik, Erin, Jon, V, Gordy, etc etc As for your question in ticket number 859567, all support for 6.2 is being done in the forum and I see no posts in there.. I know there was one on the yahoo group, but that is not official HRD support. So the answer is, look at some of my posts in this thread from earlier and you'll see the fixes... -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of KQ8M Sent: Monday, March 03, 2014 2:02 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 - new release of HRD Willi was a paid user of HRD. 6.2 is nothing but bugs. They call it a public release. They have now released the next Beta release which is supposed to fix some of the K3 problems. When I asked what they fixed I received absolutely no response. The 6.2 release is not compatible with LP-Bridge whereas previous versions were. I stopped upgrading at that point. A lot on their bug list has been there for some time and they seem in no hurry to fix anything. 73, Tim Herrick, KQ8M Charter Member North Coast Contesters k...@kq8m.com AR-Cluster V6 kq8m.no-ip.org User Ports: 23, 7373 with local skimmer, 7374 without local skimmer Server Ports: V6 3607, V4 Active 3605, V4 Passive 3606 -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Joe Subich, W4TV Sent: Sunday, March 02, 2014 9:42 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 - new release of HRD It appears that a public beta has been released for paid users.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 - new release of HRD
Of course they are always making changes - it is my understanding that Beta 6.2 has recently been released. As you are on the company test team, you are uniquely qualified and informed as to what changes, specifically, have been made to correct the deficiencies in HRD/K3 operation (using 5.xx versions)? Changes that will have me clamoring to purchase the latest version of HRD. For example: Are there more button assignments available? Same question for slider controls? Also, in the past, some button selections did not result in the button lighting while others did - do they now all light when selected?

Apparently HRD doesn't have a mail reflector of their own. On 3/2/2014 8:42 PM, Joe Subich, W4TV wrote: It appears that a public beta has been released for paid users.
