Re: [Elecraft] Firmware rev. 2.95 available for KX3; supports device for audio SWR reporting
I loaded it here, and had an initial fail during the first FW load (started ok), requiring re-power (with battery remove) and forced MCU-LD load. I was connecting serial via a PX3, and reconnected direct to KX3 on forced load, all ok. I also rebooted W10 PC prior. Is FW load usually ok when using KXPA100 or PX3 as primary CAT ? I have two KX3 setups. KX3 version 2.95 firmware is now available. It supports the "SW;" remote control command (read SWR value during transmit). One reason we added support for this command is that Joe, VE3VXO, has built a hardware module that polls the rig (using the SW; command) and outputs a "recognizable audio pattern proportional to the current VSWR." Feel free to contact Joe if you have questions about this. At least one blind KX3 operator is already using one. 73, Wayne N6KR __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

Thanks. I might even work on my screwdriver antenna autotuner now. 73, Mark W7MLG On Mon, Dec 28, 2020 at 1:37 PM Wayne Burdick wrote: > > KX3 version 2.95 firmware is now available.

I must compliment you on Elecraft Customer Support Wayne. You all did a similar thing for me a few years ago for the Genovation Pad project-- THANK YOU! No other company would allow that much customer interaction. 73, and thanks, Dave (NK7Z) https://www.nk7z.net ARRL Volunteer Examiner ARRL Technical Specialist, RFI ARRL Asst.

Wayne The SW firmware update is also useful for those using the KX3 in a remote location. Many thanks. I will ask Tom VA2FSQ to adapt Win4K3 so that the SWR can also appear on that app. 73, Bill W3UL On Mon, Dec 28, 2020 at 3:47 PM Grant Youngman wrote: > Hi, Wayne … > > Not a biggie, but the release notes posted to the web indicate the date of > this release as 12-4-2018.

Hi, Wayne … Not a biggie, but the release notes posted to the web indicate the date of this release as 12-4-2018. Couple of years off :-) Nice to see an improvement in AM power level management also.
