Re: [Elecraft] K3 Beta Firmware, Revision 2.31 - Remote ATU
I will vote for the remote antenna tuner and a Syllabic Squelch. A syllabic voice squelch would be a nice feature to have on the K3. Most commercial HF radios have these voice activated squelch circuits. They seem to ignore and noise and static very well on SSB.

I have installed the new beta firmware on #980 and am suffering agc instability.

This is not qrm coming from the antenna because it happens in exactly the same way with the antenna disconnected. I used the latest loader in windows xp. Any ideas please?

[Elecraft] K3 Beta Firmware, Revision 2.31
K3 beta-test firmware revision 2.31 is now available. This is an extensive update; details appear below. Please send any problem reports to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For instructions on how to load beta firmware, please see: http://www.elecraft.com/K3/k3_software.htm 73, Wayne N6KR * * * MCU 2.31 / DSP 1.89, 8-28-08 New Features and Enhancements: * CW SIDETONE INCREMENTS NOW 10 HZ (originally 50 Hz). * RIT CLR switch now works during transmit in all modes and at any time. * RIT CLR MENU ENTRY: You can use this menu entry to select “UNDO ON” or “UNDO OFF”. OFF is the default. When “ON”, tapping CLR will alternate between 0.00 and the present RIT/XIT offset, if any. * DIVERSITY RECEIVE MODE: If you have the sub receiver (KRX3 option) installed, you can take advantage of “diversity receive” by using two separate receiving antennas. This can improve signal copy during fading, and adds a spatial (L/R) effect to signals. DIVERSITY MODE further enhances this capability by slaving the sub receiver’s mode, filter settings, and VFO to the main receiver. To enter diversity mode, hold SUB until you see “DIVRSTY” on VFO B (about 2 seconds). The kHz decimal point of the VFO A display will flash slowly as a reminder that diversity mode is in effect. Notes on Diversity Mode: 1. Entering diversity mode switches the sub receiver to its AUX antenna source. If you don’t hear any right-channel audio, you probably don’t have an antenna connected to the sub’s AUX input. Refer to the owner’s manual or KRX3 manual for information on sub receiver AUX antenna configuration. 2. If your main and sub receiver have 5-pole crystal filters with differing frequency offsets, you may hear a slow phase modulation in the received audio at some VFO frequencies. The only way to eliminate this effect is to use 5-pole filters with matched offsets (available on request; contact Elecraft) or use 8-pole filters, which have no offset. Miscellaneous changes: * DUAL PB CW MIN CONTEXT BANDWIDTH NOW 400 Hz. In high-QRM situations, a 400 Hz or 500 Hz crystal filter may be very useful as a limit to the context bandwidth. Note that the “pedestal” effect (-24 dB context filter) becomes more of a sloped response as the context bandwidth is reduced. * DATA TX ALC IMPROVEMENTS. PWR control is now more responsive during transmit in all DATA modes. * FM SQUELCH THRESHOLD: Closely matched between main and sub receivers. * NOISE BLANKER ON/OFF ON BAND CHANGE: The DSP noise blanker wasn’t set up properly during band changes. It may have been left ON on the new band in some cases. * PA TEMP and FP TEMP are now "normal" VFO B alternate display modes, meaning that you don’t have to set TECH MD to ON in the config menu. * DDS frequency shifting during T/R changed to eliminate a variation in CW keying duty cycle that was occurring only over specific, narrow frequency ranges on each band. This also eliminated a related CW keying artifact. For software developers: * RG$ command implemented (sub receiver RF gain). * "FA", "UP" ,"DN", “RC”, “RU”, and “RD” COMMANDS UPDATE VFO B IF VFOS ARE LINKED (except in SPLIT). These commands can also be used in transmit mode. --- http://www.elecraft.com ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
