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.

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.
