Yes APF came out reel good, very well done! Don´t even know if
it was this good on the FT-1000D, at least not on the units I
did own.
Now if only AM RX was to be fixed I would be happy, as it is
right now AM (not sync AM) RX is more or less useless. It got
broken in the DSP code way back. I have
K3 beta-test firmware revision 4.17 (with DSP rev. 2.65) is now
available. This release includes our new APF (audio peaking filter)
for CW mode, which has been helping K3 field testers work extreme
weak DX for the past several days.
For voice modes, there's a Fast Monitor option (TX voice
with its potential. This is the first time that a DSP
ënhancement has impressed me.

Hi,
For the first time ever I am not able to download the zip file. As soon as I
click save target as, Explorer complains about not being able to download
the file and something about server returned extended information. Several
attempts yielded the same results. Anybody else have this problem?
Thanks so much, Wayne, Lyle and the Elecraft crew who worked on this, and
thanks to the alpha and early beta testers. I downloaded the beta version
earlier this afternoon and used it for a couple of hours of CW operation.
Fantastic! Have not had anything like this since my FT-1000 days. My 7800

Good Lord!!
I'm setting here with a very weak carrier tuned in on 10m that is barely
detectable in the noise with my 250 CW filter set to 50hz.
When I turn the APF on it jumps out of the noise and actually sounds like an

Hi
I loaded the beta firmware so I could see what all the APF buzz was about.
3D2A was spotted on 18070 so I turned the beam and he was there in and out
of my noise level. I turned on the new APF function and peaked the CW
signal. He was now 100% copy. Turned APF off and he was in and out of my
WOW!! I wondered who the pile up was for around 14017 or so. Tuning
down a couple, I heard an S[minus]1 signal I couldn't make out, sounded
like 9A something, sometimes GT[?]. Figuring there wouldn't be a huge
pileup on a 9A, I engaged APF. Right out of the noise, maybe S3 and

To use APF, make sure CONFIG:DUAL PB is set to APF. (This is the
default. “NOR” restores the original DUAL PB function.)
Given the value of both APF and Dual PB filters, the menu dance
to switch between the two is a very big drag. Please provide a
way to select either function (I'd suggest

I would also like to thank the Elecraft crew for another great enhancement.
I updated the firmware a few minutes before a local traffic net here.
During the net, I was asked to receive 6 messages from a weak station. With
both the NR and APF turned on, a marginal situation became solid copy.
