Even a "public beta" release has undergone a significant amount of real life field testing by around 80 testers and it's easy to revert back to an earlier version if you find a problem. The more recent releases have significant improvements in many areas, especially the noise reduction.
There is no reason to wait for a release to be a regular one, updating is simple and safe. I've even had my laptop go into hibernation half way through a firmware update without needing the radio to be returned to the factory. Unlike some other radios, the K3 is very robust with regard to firmware updates. 73 Dave, G4AON K3/100 #80 f/w 3.44 ------------------------------ I see it is being recommended for K3 owners to upgrade to the latest beta firmware. I have always waited for the regular releases. There has been a plethora of changes since the last regular release in early May. It would be nice if all the stable items in these betas were incorporated into a regular release so those of us not interested in being beta testers could catch up to some degree. 73, Lee (K9CM) ______________________________________________________________ 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
