Corrected K3 MCU Firmware, rev. 1.66 (fixes ATU TUNE problem)

Thanks Wayne,

But I am still exploring the more basic options for
K3, last night I used the NR button "in battle" for
the first time. 40m SSB at night. All transceivers
have the button it seems but the effect (or ineffect)
varies greatly.

To my amazement, the noise level reduced - a couple
S-units. There were no undesirable side affects, and
the recovered audio sounded pleasingly natural in
comparison to what I know of NR.

The biggest treat was, press the button and it worked,
no fussing with it to try to improve the effect - only
to be disappointed.

One simple button, every radio has it, but oh what a
difference.

Tonight we try the blanker or some other button to
find out how it's really supposed to work. ;-)

[Elecraft] Corrected K3 MCU Firmware, rev. 1.66 (fixes

If you loaded K3 MCU revision 1.65, please load
revision 1.66 instead,
which fixes a problem with ATU TUNE that was reported
by a few
customers. Rev. 1.66 is now available on our web site.

In version 1.65, tapping ATU TUN would incorrectly use
the power level
set in the new TUN PWR menu entry, and afterward would
set the power
knob to this TUN PWR value.

The ATU TUNE power level is automatically controlled
by firmware (5 W
and 10 W are used, depending on the SWR). The TUN PWR
menu entry only
sets the power level for the regular TUNE switch.
