Perhaps Elecraft could compile this app in both 32-bit and 64-bit flavors. Dealing with this kind of Linux stuff is not something most people should have to do. Jim/KA2RVO On Tue, Jun 12, 2018 at 2:26 AM a45wg wrote: > KX3 Utils > > I am running a totally basic Ubuntu Environment (64 bit). >

It is probably the same LCD display on the KX2, KX3, and K3, so I wouldn't read too much into that. On the other hand, it is also an SDR, so perhaps it will be added if there is enough interest. Jim/KA2RVO On Mon, Dec 12, 2016 at 7:32 PM, Emory Schley wrote: > > > If you

[Elecraft] [PX3] Does not respond to the knob being rotated
