The release notes for these revisions:

MCU 01.50 / 7-27-2015

* Added support for the transmitter monitor module.  Added a new "TXMonMenu"
sub-menu with  entries: "CW Split" (enable split screen for CW mode), "Mtr
En" (turn on the "analog" meter display),
"MtrScale" (set power meter full scale), "Mod En" (turn on the modulation
envelope display), "ModScale" (set time/div of modulation display),
"SensorCal" (RF power calibration, separate for each sensor type)
and "TX hang" (delay time when the transceiver goes from transmit to
receive). 
* Added an additional middle-sized font selection of 7 x 11 pixels.
* The waterfall parameters for the external display are now different from
the main display. The following new entries have been added to the "SVGA
menu" sub-menu: "SVGA WfEn"
 (turns the waterfall on/off or sets it to track the main display), "SVGA
WfAv" (waterfall averaging on/off), "SVGA WfCo" (waterfall color map), "SVGA
WfHt" (waterfall height), and "SVGA WfMk" (waterfall markers on/off).
* Supports preamplifier number 2 of the KXV3B (which is standard in the
K3S).



P3SVGA 01.24 / 7-27-2015

* Added Noise Blanker. 
* Developed a faster method of detecting K3 transmit/receive state changes.  
* Added data terminal ‘send on space’ to the available data TX modes.  
* Added replay of keyboard input using Ctrl-Alt-R.  Ctrl-C will clear replay
buffer.
* Added ‘\r’ to embed a CR in text message. Use ‘\\’ to send a single ‘\’. 
* Added ‘\c’ to embed an incrementing serial counter in a text message. 
Clearing/presetting counter may be done in the setup screen (Ctrl-Alt-S). 
* Text messages sent in data terminal mode now respect the mode setting
(VOX, CR, ^T). 
* Fixed a bug in data terminal mode that was causing the time-out to not
reset correctly. 
* Fixed a bug in data terminal mode that was causing non-existent characters
to be retrieved and sent.  Also fixes a bug of missing characters. 
* Fixed a problem that caused some SVGA boards to not initialize correctly
from P3 commands at boot. 
* Added waterfall cursors, these display exactly as they do on the P3
screen.
