Hi all,
I'm on an update/upgrade kick for my K2. My KAT2 has firmware version
1.06, and I see that version 1.07 is current. I've looked on the web
site for a description of the differences between 1.06 and 1.07, but
couldn't find any mention of it. Anyone know what's new with 1.07?

Hi Tom,
Yes, the K2 has a Squelch feature. It's accessed through the
secondary menu (tap MENU, then tap DISPLAY). Squelch (SLCH) is the
first item on the secondary menu. See page 100 in the K2 manual.

Hi Don,
I just went back and tried several firmware changes and the K3 has
made a liar out of me. It stayed in DATA A through the changes. But
that makes it all the more worrisome. I never use AFSK A, but have
definitely found the rig in that mode after firmware updates.

I don't know of a mailing list, but it would be nice to have an
Elecraft-announce list just for letting people know about new software
releases and app notes.

Yes, it is. But the point is that I have to remember to check that

could sit back and wait for the emails to tell me it's time to update.
Lots of companies maintain both a discussion list (open to all

Couldn't you do this already with the K3Utility's save and restore
configuration feature?

They are not noise canceling, but rather use passive techniques (tight

I also have the encoder noise around 28005 - 28010. Turning on the NB
at t1-4 does suppress the pulses. Not completely but they're
definitely reduced.

I've been monitoring these signals for a few days now. They seem to
run for long periods without a break, although I have heard a few

I've always seen them in pairs spaced about 15kHz apart. I don't have

I can confirm this. I've heard it on strong SSB signals and it's easy
to demonstrate with the XG2 signal generator set to the 50uV level.
The more aggressive the NR setting, the louder the strong signals
become. Using the XG2 and the K3's built in AFV meter, NR F1-1 gives

Hi Bill,
This has happened to me a few times (but with 40m). Check CONFIG:BND
MAP and make sure 3.5 is set to In. I don't know why, but sometimes
it seems to change all by itself.

Hi Brian,
I noticed similar behavior back in March and reported it to the list
on March 9th. So I don't think it's necessarily new with the new
utility or firmware. Unfortunately, I've never been able to reproduce
the problem consistently, so it remains a mystery.
