K-3 CONFIG settings

I can not find the text definitions in the manual (Rev C-1, Nov 18, 2007), or the errata sheet (C1-5, May 6, 2008) for 'CONFIG' settings for the following:

FM DEV
FM MODE
MIC BTN
PWR SET
RFI DET
EXT ALC (TECH MD)

Once I stumbled across 'FM DEV' I was able to get the FM mode up and running all okay.

What is the recommended setting for the FM DEV on the 29mhz band? I'm using 5 for six-meter but not sure about 10-meters.

Cheers, Bob, k9foh

Re: K-3 CONFIG settings

You will find definition for all these in the firmware release notes -
new features are often documented there first, and only later on do
they appear in the Manual.

I do wish that there was a direct link to the *complete* version of
the release notes on the website - at present persons are told to
access it via the K3 Update Utility help menu.

One way to get to it quickly is via the FTP site. There's a link to
the FTP site at the bottom of the K3 Software Page - the file in
question is "hfwnotes.rtf".

Hi Bob,

These will be covered in the next errata sheet (C1-7), which will be
available by tomorrow.

Hello, Oms!

The K3 Utility copies the hfwnotes.rtf file into your local firmware folder
along with the firmware files whenever you copy new firmware files from the
Elecraft FTP server. It should be in the folder shown in the "local folder
for firmware files" section of your configuration page. That's the place
the K3 Utility looks for it when you display it with the Help - K3 Firmware
Release Notes function.

You can also use the standard Windows Accessory "WordPad" to view or print
this file.
