Firmware 4.18 APF adjustment using shift control

Gentlemen, thanks for adding the APF to the K3 and the quick response to the bug that some operators were experiencing. The APF works great. I did find that while adjusting it when I got to APF 1.0 I heard a click in my headphones that I am using and as I tried rotating the shift control counter clockwise or clockwise that I could here the APF "stepping" but there was no visible indication on the display of it or any receiver audio heard. Just the clicks as I turned the shift control. Turning off the rig and turning it back on brought everything back to normal.

I get exactly the same here. Also using 4.18.

K3 #202, MCU 4.18, et al.
Similar experience here. Everything normal until I rotate
the APF Shift CW and it reaches 1.00 the loud pops/cracks
begin when rotating both the "Shift" and "Width" knobs.
Rotation of the APF Shift knob now changes the display
numbers (APF 0.xx), but the Rx is very quiet... both
speakers and earphones. Powering K3 OFF/ON returns the K3 to
normal operations. When I cycle back to APF Off (Preset II
on my K3), Rx works normally with sound in both speakers and
earphones. The first time I switched back to Preset I (APF
On) the Rx worked as it should. Subsequently, switching back
to Preset I produces a quiet Rx with only the popping when
the APF Shift or Width being rotated.

Re: Firmware 4.18 APF adjustment using shift control

After someone else noted that turning the APD Shift CCW it
returned to normal ops when reaching 0.27. I just tested
here and after turning to APF 1.00 and activating the
pops/cracks, turning the APF Shift CCW until it reaches APF
0.20 and returns the APF to normal ops w/o the pops/cracks.

I found that running the APF down to 270 Hz results in a BOOP! and the
APF is restored as with a power reset.

In reply to this post by Ken Wagner K3IU

More tests... My previous report was with the sidetone set
to 600 Hz. I set my sidetone pitch to 670 and the point at
which the APF returns to normal moved up to .27 (270 hz). I
now hear the same "boop" as Nate reports and a return to
normal .

Same problem here with the new APF in 4.18....tuning SHIFT to 1khz cause APF to click and shut off....repowering K3 restores APF.

Looks like a bug.

Re: Firmware 4.18 APF adjustment using shift control

In reply to this post by Stephen Prior

A fellow Swiss ham and I apparently were among the lucky few not to experience any SSB power issue with Release 4.17/2.65. I wonder whether this has anything to do with some interaction with filters or other settings.

But now after installing 4.18/2.67, I noticed that turning the shift to exactly 1 kHz will mute both receivers and only impulses from the encoder are heard (fairly loud!) until shift is returned CCW to below 300 Hz.

Not a big issue since only slight moves around my 700 Hz sidetone are normally required.
Just wanted to point out that the loss of SSB power does not seem to occur on every K3.

Re: Firmware 4.18 APF adjustment using shift control

Richard and fellows,
I too have not experienced the drop in SSB output. I am still using
version 4.17. There is probably more to this problem than is immediately
obvious and for that matter I wonder if the original Alpha testers ever
experience the difficulty in the original testing.

Re: Firmware 4.18 APF adjustment using shift control

With 4.17 I had a slight drop in SSB, but no encoder popping/deafness.
With 4.18 I get the pops at 1.00, it goes away with a "boop" at .270.

It takes a tad (an IEEE term. 1 tad = 3.75 skosh) over 5 minutes to load either one
at 4800 baud. My impression is that's a lot longer than previous versions, but I
never timed any of them.

Re: Firmware 4.18 APF adjustment using shift control

Mine pops LOUDLY at 1 KHz and then the RX audio is dead unless I change the Shift and/or the Width control then it's a machine gun and LOUD. Glad I did this with the speaker on and not the headphones, I'd be deaf.

Turning APF off doesn't clear the problem either. Reengaging it makes it operate the same. Power off is the only answer.

Not ready for primetime although the noise gate is much improved, I'll actually use it. APF, I don't think so.

This is why we do beta releases -- sometimes the code isn't ready for
production release. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Unfortunately Lyle is out of town, so we won't be able to make
corrections this weekend.

If you have any issues with rev 4.18 (or 4.17), please re-load the
last production release, rev 4.14. NOTE: You must download a complete
set of files (MCU, DSP and FPF) when upgrading or downgrading.

Wayne has officially yanked 4.18. If SSB problems with 4.17, reload
4.14. Nothing until Lyle gets back.

4.17 alpha testers were going nuts on the APF and likely did little
checking of the TX function change, which apparently had the SSB bug
found in 4.17. Any problems, reload 4.14.

Re: Firmware 4.18 APF adjustment using shift control

Please don't be so quick to judge the Alpha testers! We did plenty of testing on this software before it was released for Beta test by the public. The SSB problem wansn't introduced until the Noise gate issue was changed IN 4.17 (not the alpha test).
I'm sure that Lyle will have everything back in order as soon as he gets back.

Re: Firmware 4.18 APF adjustment using shift control

In reply to this post by Guy, K2AV

Guy,

Firmware 4.18 is still available at the Elecraft website - it was 4.17
that has been pulled AFAIR.
Yes, 4.18 has some problems that have been identified on this reflector,
but for those who are willing to work around those problems, I am
certain the firmware folks at Elecraft would like to have feedback of
any other problems discovered.

Those who wish to "play it safe" should definitely retreat to 4.14
(install all the files), but for those who are a bit more adventuresome,
try out the APF and the improved noise gate, etc. as long as you are
willing to work around the limitations that have been identified so far.

I often use beta releases of software, and I do expect a few glitches
when I do - I figure that is my "cost" for trying something new. The
good thing about Elecraft is that they do respond to identified problems
in a timely manner (unlike some others). Lyle will certainly be busy
when he gets finished with his weekend! Let's provide him with
information on any other glitches that might show up.

Anyway, I've retreated to 17m CW to escape the SS hordes, and it is wide
open to east Asia... APF working great in 4.18 as long as you don't shift
above 1.00 kHz (why would you ever want to?) This will get fixed in short
order.

BTW, if you DO turn shift to 1.00, you don't have to recycle power. Just
turn SHIFT back the other way until the clicking stops, then return to your
chosen passband shift point...

Both beta 4.17 and 4.18 have now been removed from the web site. 4.14 is the latest current release.

Ever try editing a web page while in motion from an iPad? Fortunately my wife is driving, but road bumps make typing and screen editing interesting..

Eric and Wayne,
You are tops and I and many more expect problems with development
firmware. Thank you for your Trojan efforts!

No way!

Now that I know how to avoid the pops, I will work around them until SS CW
is done and THEN backrev to 4.14. APF is addictive. Even with the
ringiness, it works wonders on the ESP QRP signals on 15m.

Don't need good SSB audio until the 20th. I'm sure Lyle will have it fixed
by then :)

I'm going to bed now. See you all at 4am!

Wayne has officially yanked 4.18. If SSB problems with 4.17, reload
4.14. Nothing until Lyle gets back.

4.17 alpha testers were going nuts on the APF and likely did little
checking of the TX function change, which apparently had the SSB bug
found in 4.17. Any problems, reload 4.14.
