There's a new production release of KH1 firmware (rev 1.27). Please see release notes below.
Additional information on using FT8 for self-ID during field outings will be posted to the KH/KX/AX forum. This info will also be in the pending update to the KH1 owner's manual. 73, Wayne N6KR * * * * * KH1 MCU 1.27, 23 November, 2025 * FT8 TRANSMIT USING 1-HZ VFO OFFSET COMMAND: An “FO” (1-Hz frequency offset) host command has been added to support SOTAmat FT8 self-spotting for SOTA outings. An external hardware interface (e.g. SOTACAT) and smart phone or laptop can now be used with the KH1 to transmit FT8 packets or potentially implement full FT8 transcieve. Refer to the KH1 Programmer’s Reference or Owner’s Manual for full details. * MORSE AUDIO FEEDBACK: By setting MENU:SW TONES to one of several CW code speeds, Morse audio feedback will be emitted on every switch tap/hold, plus coarse VFO/band changes in BAND/MODE, as well as selected menu entries. On entry to BAND/MODE, the KH1 sends kHz and 100s of Hz digits, providing Morse frequency readout. If a power-on banner (such as “N6KR”) has been set up using KH1 Utility, it will be sent in audio Morse on power-up. For full details refer to the KH1 Owner’s Manual. * QSK DELAY MENU ENTRY: QSK delay can be set from 0-2.50 s. The default is 0.00 (full QSK). * 100 kHZ/1 MHz STEP SIZES IN BAND/MODE ON SWL BAND ONLY: While BAND/MODE selection is in effect, hold the VFO knob (> 0.5 seconds) to toggle between 100 kHz and 1 MHz. Provides much faster QSY on the SWL band. * MONITOR LEVEL SAVED ON EXIT FROM MON SETTING: Previously, the setting would be lost on power-down. * MANUAL ATU SETTINGS SAVED: Previously, in MENU:ATU PARAM, manually adjusted LCN values were not saved. -- Elecraft, Inc. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
