I just installed new beta firmware 5.57 on my K3S.
As usually it has been easy to install and all worked perfectly after
installation.
Thanks Elecraft for a great rig (the best) and the first class service!
Sure I would'nt change it for any other.

Hello,
Just update mine s/n #6552 and for my surprise he lost power on the upper
bands (18-28mhz). Instead of 100 watts he has 55 watts, more or less.
I revert the previous version ( 4.67) and the power back again.
Does anyone have the same issue ??

firmware (whether beta or production), then it is also included in the
higher numbered version - unless it is specifically retracted.

Lee,
I have installed every K3 beta version and almost all of the pre-beta
firmware. Your statement about

Lee,
In my experience, there have been many beta releases that could have
been named as a production release.
My guess is that in the 'busy-ness' of the summer and autumn with
vacations and all (Wayne and Lyle do need some R & R), none were
selected. The creation of a formal production release
As one of the testers and a person with 40 years of software development
experience, I would say this latest release is as close to "gold code" as I
have seen. There is no real risk other than to reload the old code. By the
time K3 code hits the beta list it is really pretty good. I would look at

No new code will likely be compiled to form a "new release level" -
IMHO, that would be even more risky than creating a new beta release,
and would itself require more testing than any new beta release.

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.

K3 beta-test firmware revision 3.44 (with DSP rev. 2.38) is now
available. See release notes below. If you've been using older
firmware for awhile, I'd suggest upgrading now. We've made many
important improvements over the past few weeks.
Please send any questions to k3supp...@elecraft.com.
K3 beta-test firmware revision 3.42 (with DSP rev. 2.37) is now
available. It corrects a problem with CW keying (and possibly transmit
in general) when using HRD (Ham Radio Deluxe) software. See release
notes below.
