We could use a few volunteers to help test the latest KX3 firmware. Please email me if you’re interested.
See release notes below. 73, Wayne N6KR * * * KX3 MCU 2.82 / DSP 1.52, 11-6-2017 * SIDETONE VOLUME CAN BE SET LOWER: MON=1 is now about 12 dB lower in volume than it was originally. MON=50 is about the same as the original maximum. * AUTO-OFF TIMER RANGE IS 5 TO 100 MINUTES: Auto-power-off (MENU: AUTO OFF) allows the radio to turn itself off if no controls are touched for the specified length of time. (The original range was 3 to 20 minutes.) If auto power-off is not desired, set the menu parameter to INFINITE (default). * VFO A LOCK DISABLES COARSE VFO A TUNING WITH OFS/B CONTROL: This is intended to prevent accidental frequency changes due to touching the OFS/B control. As long as VFO A is locked, the offset-tuning feature will also be locked. (RIT, if used, is still *not* locked. RIT may be needed to fine-tune received signals even if the VFO itself is locked on a given transmit frequency.) Note: Coarse tuning steps for VFO A are set up per-mode using MENU:VFO CRS. The OFS/B control can be used to coarse-tune VFO A if RIT and XIT are both turned off and the control is not assigned to VFO B (“B” LED). * FILTER BANDWIDTH & ULTIMATE ATTENUATION FIX: Filter bandwidth settings ending in x00 Hz are now increased internally to x50 Hz to ensure excellent ultimate attenuation (stop band). For example, a setting of 400 Hz becomes 450 Hz. This is a temporary workaround for a DSP algorithmic issue with the x00 settings that will be corrected in a future release. Available bandwidth settings are now 50 Hz, 150 Hz, 250 Hz, 350 Hz, etc. These are entirely adequate for virtually all operating purposes. ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
