I've had a chance to do a quick review of the beta firmware, and even without having the document for it, I've found it to be the most "complete" firmware to date. About all I found missing was the squelch mode for AM, whereas the control acts as RF Gain. At this stage, that is really picking nits. The K3 seems like a whole new beast, especially if you have a roofing filter > 2.7 khz installed. Tuning through the SSB portion of the band it seems like a different place.
I saw it before they went on vacation and it seemed 98% ready to me, but I expect that heading out of town that was not the way they wanted to roll it out. I look for it to be well ready - anytime now. [Elecraft] Imminent new K3 firmware will require Version 1.1.4.1 of K3 Utility Dick Dievendorff dieven at comcast.net Thu May 1 16:41:21 EDT 2008 A new K3 firmware revision is going to be published in the very near future. In order to install this new firmware in your K3, you must use the current version of the K3 Utility, version 1.1.4.1, which is available on the Elecraft web site at http://www.elecraft.com/K3/k3_software.htm Earlier versions of the K3 Utility may NOT be used to load the new firmware. There is a new "Front Panel Flash" (FPF) loader required to load a new "Front Panel Flash" file that will be part of the new firmware. K3 Utility Version 1.1.4.1 retains the ability to install earlier K3 firmware versions. You may determine the version of your K3 Utility by viewing the "About K3 Utility" Help menu item. 73 de Dick, K6KR _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
