I really thought it unfair that you pulled so much prison time for that stock you sold in your underground antenna scheme. Anyway. hope to hear more from you. 73, Doug W6JD ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Ellington" <n...@carolina.rr.com> To: dj7...@muenchen-mail.de, "Bill Coleman" <aa...@arrl.net> Cc: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Sunday, May 17, 2009 2:00:41 PM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KPA-800 any news at Dayton? Elecraft is working on a firmware update which will enable the K3's 800w or 1500w feature. I believe some minor changes to the DC power input will be required however, cooling is already adaquate. No external hardware will be necessary and the update is free. The firmware update for the panadapter activation has been the hold up. It's been a well guarded secret but information is leaking about how the K3's current display is capable of displaying any portion of a given band once the new FW is installed. The current default display will be minimized to one corner of the screen and the remaining area will become the scope. One can toggle between display modes by programing one of the PF keys and shortly thereafter we can expect the multicolor display firmware update. Larson E. Rapp Dewey Cheatham and Howe LLP.
