I downloaded the Utility and Beta firmware and all is OK as far as I can tell.

I don't have a complete summary in one place. I'll try to put one together later. A few that come to mind are: Does not fault when tuning with low power Less likely to end a full tune sequence with a poor match Antenna selection logic fixed in BYP mode "Second, this firmware is marked 'Beta'. I typically don't install stuff until it is the production version. So are the changes/enhancements significant enough and the Beta is tested well enough such that I should go ahead and install the firmware the next time I'm at the ham station in November (I operate remotely)? The currently installed firmware is 01.75. " I don't load alpha or beta software unless I expect to gain something from it. If you have no problems with your current installation, and don't need any of the new features, why take the risk. "Third, am I correct that the I can use an earlier version of the KAT500 utility to install the new firmware and that older utility software will 'play nice' with the new firmware? The currently installed KAT500 Utility is v1.16.7.25 that has a 2016 copyright date. "" The old utility has features that are no longer supported in the new firmware. The new firmware has features that are not supported by the older utility. However, basic functionality such as displaying and editing the tuning solution should still be compatible. 73, Andy, k3wyc ______________________________________________________________ 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 ab...@comcast.net ______________________________________________________________ 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
