KX3 beta firmware rev 1.12 (with DSP rev 0.94) is now available. See release notes below.
You'll need the KX3 Utility application to download and install firmware. For full instructions, refer to our KX3 software page: http://www.elecraft.com/KX3/KX3_software.htm 73, Wayne N6KR * * * MCU 1.12, 7-25-2012 * MIN SUPPLY VOLTAGE NOW 7.5 V (was 8.0): Increases operating time when using an 8-cell NiMH battery pack. Recommended max power output is 3 W when operating from less than 9 volts, although 5 watts is possible in most cases. * KEY OUT (ACC2) FOLLOWS CW DELAY SETTING: Prevents excessive switching of external equipment being keyed by the KX3’s KEY OUT line. Set desired delay using DLY switch. * VOX AUTO-OFF OPTION AT POWER-UP: Tap '4' in CW WGHT menu entry to select VOX NOR or VOX AUTO OFF. With AUTO OFF selected, VOX for CW, voice, and audio-based data modes will all be disabled on power-up. * IMPROVED HANDLING OF UNINTENTIONAL KEYING ON POWER-UP: Includes two new error messages: ERR VOX (voice or audio-data mode VOX was activated) and ERR ACP (PTT was activated via the ACC2 jack with the given setting of the ACC2 IO menu entry). In the ERR VOX case, VOX is turned off. In the ERR ACP case, ACC2 IO is set to OFF. * UP/DN MIC FUNCTIONS DISABLED IN AF DATA MODES: In this case the user will have a PC audio cable, not an MH3, plugged in at the mic jack. Eliminates the need to change the MIC BTN menu setting when switching from voice to audio data modes. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
