Guy...
Second your comments about Elecraft and the team. What we have with the
K3 is 90% plus of our dream radio. An old nun once told me that
perfection is the enemy of the good. Being gracious about the last 10%
is a satisfying way to live and ensures the good will and effort of all
those
Amen, Guy!
I was shocked to receive an email from Wayne on a... Sunday... on Mother's
Day no less! Well, it was late afternoon, so I guess it was OK. ;-) Another
one came in very late at night.
I suppose you can tell I was a new customer at the time (KX3 #0130) and
didn't know any better than to

CW decode will be improved in the next release of K3 firmware.
Meanwhile, try using a lower AGC threshold and a narrow filter
bandwidth.

With 4.51, the operation of CWT seems to have changed [possibly in my
mind and not in the radio :-)] The indicator follows band noise
somewhat erratically regardless of where I put the CWT threshold which I
think is the same as the CW decode threshold. On a signal, it will
center and follow
Hi Fred,
We released 4.51 into the wild because of its important AGC
improvements -- couldn't wait on that. Sorry for the inconvenience on
CW decode and CWT, both of which will be improved in the next release.

OK, just hadn't heard anything mentioned about CWT, and when that
happens, I usually begin to think ... It's just me, I'm missing
something. I think I'm getting the hang of the AGC stuff, nice!

I think the CWT is fine. I set the threshold on it so that it just flickers
with band noise, and find that at that setting I cans use it to tune signals
that are just above the noise on the P3.
I don't use the CW decode option.

That's right. My CWT has gotten a little spastic since 4.51. Saw that
right away with 4.51 in pre-beta. But I'm not going to monkey with the
settings any more until Wayne publishes the fix.
4.51 was an absolutely splendid overhaul of AGC that fixed stuff that no
one could correlate with
My CW Decoder is no longer functioning either since I updated the firmware.
Hopefully this is addressed soon. I tend to use it as an aid when I start
drifting in a qso or can't keep up with the sending station.

Tried all the THR combinations with a strong signal but nothing.
Thank you

Yes, I hope it's fixed as well. Since I copy OK by ear at reasonable
speeds I don't need it, but it's a function that the is supposed to
work, did previously, and doesn't now.

I believe that Wayne and team are looking at this.
There are ways to get it to work by reducing RF but it certainly does not work
as well as it did. Still lowering the RF gain allows you to decode stronger
signals but then lower signals you may lose out on.

FYI - Version 4.51 - The CW Decode/CWT function on my sn# 705 is mostly
non-functional no matter what I set the threshold to. I mostly use the CWT
for zero beat or to see how far off others are calling (DX) - that still
works on the stronger sigs but not on weak ones.

*Strange indeed. #679 decoded fine this morning. The usual missing

Having said that, I do understand the vagaries of a machine trying to

The beta test of 4.51 was successful and it will be changed to final on the web
site shortly. Feel free to download the zipped beta files and install them. The
final version is exactly the same.

I'm at work, and I don't want to forget, so let me ask this: Do you post
an announcement for the release? Last time I think I completely missed
it and was surprised when my K3 updated (and I've only had it for a few
months!)

Eric,
I thought that there were issues with the CW decoder w/4.51. Did I miss
the fix on this?

tend to set AF gain to one level and use rf gain for good listening

Hi
current beta firmware 4.51 did show great improvements in WPX CW contest.
When will it be final?
or is there any issue that will be added/changed in the final version?

Wolfgang,
If by final you are referring to the number 4.51 - that number is
final right now - if there are any changes made, the number will be
changed.
If the beta test is successful, that same version will be declared
release level - but the code3 will be unchanged.
So, bottom line, if
