K3 APF Problem
Locked
 
|
Vic and all,
This morning I've reloaded all the K3 firmware and the problem has disappeared. Guess the third time loading is the charm. Two suggestions for those that make decisions. Put a feature in the utility to load only certain firmware rather than a complete reload. There is a feature to upload only new revisions but nothing to reload only a single firmware. Second, zip a complete set of compatible firmware files into one file, unzip it in the utility and load from those files only. This could eliminate the problem I had that took several emails and three days to correct. Of course, individual files could be left on the server for those desiring to download individual files. The APF does give a peak to weaker CW so it is a definite improvement. I noticed very little ringing. It makes the audio sound a bit more crisp making it easier to hear. Guess that is a result of enhancing the "Q" someplace as has been previously discussed. Vic, thank you for helping resolve the problem with my K3. Take pride in the USA. 73 Jim, W0EM Message: 31 Date: Sun, 30 Jan 2011 17:00:57 -0800 From: Vic K2VCO <[hidden email]> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Fw: K3 APF Problem To: Jim Harris <[hidden email]> Cc: [hidden email] Message-ID: <[hidden email]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Make sure DTBL0014.HEX is in the folder along with the DSP files. That's the DSP table for DSP 2.71. Then reload the DSP. I think this is the same kind of problem that you had with the FP -- out-of-sync files. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

If you enable advanced mode in the utility preferences, you can chose to
only load specific files. Be careful with this, as DSP, CPU, FPF files etc from a release must all match the release set. That's why we recommend clicking on the 'load all files' button. 73, Eric WA6HHQ --- On 1/31/2011 10:04 AM, Jim Harris wrote: > Vic and all, > > This morning I've reloaded all the K3 firmware and the problem has disappeared.

My thanks to Eric and all who pointed out the Advanced Mode in the View menu. I use the utility infrequent so I was unaware of that feature. Live and learn, and I say that in a positive way.
I think this thread can now be put to bed. Take pride in the USA. 73 Jim, W0EM --- On Mon, 1/31/11, Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft <[hidden email]> wrote: From: Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft <[hidden email]> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 APF Problem To: "Jim Harris" <[hidden email]> Cc: "Elecraft Email" <[hidden email]>, [hidden email] Date: Monday, January 31, 2011, 6:21 PM If you enable advanced mode in the utility preferences, you can chose to only load specific files.

I am still a new K3 user and learning the radio. I have looked through the
manual a couple of times and I cannot find out how to turn APF on. I must be missing that. It sounds like a useful feature and might help pull VP8ORK out of the noise. 73, - Craig, AE6RR K3 #4877 -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft Sent: Monday, January 31, 2011 10:21 AM To: Jim Harris Cc: Elecraft Email Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 APF Problem If you enable advanced mode in the utility preferences, you can chose to only load specific files.

Thanks to all the replied offline.
I now have the latest manual (D9 version) and the release notes for the firmware. Let's see if it helps my pull VP8ORK out of the noise on 80m tonight. I did work them on 40m CW and SSB last night with the K3 and an ALS-1300 amp. 73, - Craig, AE6RR -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Craig - AE6RR Sent: Tuesday, February 01, 2011 9:20 AM To: [hidden email]; 'Jim Harris' Cc: 'Elecraft Email' Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 APF Problem I am still a new K3 user and learning the radio.
