K3 beta-test firmware revision 3.14 (with DSP rev. 2.16) is now available. For details, see the release notes below.
Please send any problem reports to k3supp...@elecraft.com. For instructions on how to load beta firmware, please see: http://www.elecraft.com/K3/k3_software.htm We recommend that you use the latest revision of K3 Utility, which can also be found on the K3 software page. 73, Wayne N6KR * * * MCU 3.14 / DSP 2.16 May 9, 2009 * SPEAKER PROTECTION: If you’re set up for stereo speakers (CONFIG:SPKRS = 2), but insert a mono speaker plug, the right speaker output will be shorted to ground. This can cause excess current drain if you turn volume up to high levels. The K3 now detects this condition, automatically turning off the right channel (and briefly flashing "SPRKS=1"). (It would be better, of course, to use a stereo plug if you set SPKRS to 2, rather than wait for the firmware to detect the mono plug.) * The CONFIG:XVn RF display parameter can now be set up to 24999 MHz (24.9 GHz). Most PC control applications can also display the GHz digits. However, the VFO will still only show up to 999 MHz. ---- http://www.elecraft.com ______________________________________________________________ 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
