[Elecraft] Elecraft] KX3; Firmware Update

2019-10-03 Thread R
Regarding the timeset function on the KX3 utility program (Windows). It does have that. It was my oversight - I just didn't see it. Regarding the RTC calibration function - it sounds like that may not be feasible due to the design of the radio. Thank you all for pointing out the location of

I had actually forgotten that “absolute mode” for the S-meter still showed up as “TBD” on the KX3. I re-discovered it while following the instructions for radio setup prior to calibrating opposite sideband null. I was also hoping for synchronous AM, but that didn’t show up either, although I

It was pointed out to me that the Utility already has the KX3 setting function under the "Configuration" tab (I missed that somehow), and also that the design of the RTC in the KX3 may not allow for tuning via firmware. Thank you all. 73, Rob - AE7AP -- Sent from:

Is there any chance of a future firmware update including the RTC correction factor that the KX2 has? Also - it would be nice if the KX3 utility had the same "Set KX2 Time" function that is in the KX2 - it makes it super quick to recalibrate. 73, Rob - AE7AP -- Sent from:

Dick and list, We have successfully updated the firmware for the DSP and the MCU. The problem occurred as we were trying to install with the KXPA100 in line. I removed it and connected the computer directly to the KX3 and all went well. Later, we were able to connect the KXPA100 and confirmed

Interesting. Well, I and a number of other testers have noted better fidelity, and the op who had measured the in-band OSB image at 20 dB reported that it had dropped significantly. I've been listening to music in the AM broadcast band in SSB mode with FL2 engaged, and it sounds quite clean.
