Re: [Elecraft] KPA1500 BETA FW 2.66
Thanks Dick. Missed you at Seapac last year. For some reason I can never get firmware notes emails when they come out. I've never figured out where they disappear, so I'm working with incomplete information.

I'm also a little confused. The beta automatically downloaded to my PCs (one's actually a Mac) but they're not connected to the amp via USB so I haven't updated yet. Betas aren't supposed to auto-download, right? Also, I couldn't find any release notes.

Eric, after seeing your post I upgraded to 2.66 after using 2.62 for several QSOs this morning on CW. Immediately I had problems with erratic SWR and failures. I went to STBY and there were no problems. I changed to several different bands and antennas and the same thing happened repeatedly. No problem with 100w in STBY but constant failures in OPER.

Elecraft has released KPA1500 BETA FW 2.66, which fixes the problem with 2.62 not working with FANticipator! Woohoo! I just started testing, will post any updates. 73, Eric WD6DBM  __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
