No, Klaus, from the revision notes there are bug fixes and the S-meter
has been corrected on 2 metres.

Re: New Production Firmware Release: K3 rev. 4.25, P3 rev 1.00

Jim Sheldon
In reply to this post by wayne burdick
Loaded P3 rev 1.00 with no problems - the missing centerline problem mentioned earlier did not occur with my load of the software.  

Question I have is what changes were in the K3 production vs beta as the numbers are the same as the beta versions.  Should I overwrite the MCU only, all, or none?

I gave 0.50 a good workout during a contest last weekend.  The new
functionality is exactly what I was looking for. You guys hit it out of
the park with this one. Many thanks!

Re: New Production Firmware Release: K3 rev. 4.25, P3 rev 1.00

Joe Subich, W4TV-4

Yes, good job.  One tweak I'd like to see is the center frequency
stay to even 1 or 5 KHz values in the fixed tune mode and the
left/right edge of the display lock to the band edge when tuning
within <span> of the band edge.   Those aren't critical but they
make reading frequency, etc. a lot easier.

K3 Beta Release: 2-Meter frequency locking to REF CAL and External Reference

wayne burdick
Administrator
In reply to this post by wayne burdick
K3 beta-test firmware revision 4.42 (with DSP rev. 2.73) is now  
available. This release allows the offsets for the 2-meter ref-lock  
option (K144RFLK) to be automatically calibrated based on the REF CAL  
menu parameter. Since REF CAL can track an external 10-MHz reference  
(via a K3EXREF module), 2-meter users can now obtain exceptional  
frequency stability. See detailed release notes below.

Please send any questions to [hidden email]. For instructions  
on how to load beta firmware, see:

      http://www.elecraft.com/K3/k3_software.htm

73,
Wayne
N6KR

* * *

MCU 4.42 / DSP 2.73, 8-24-2011

* 2-METER FREQUENCY LOCKING TO REF CAL & EXT. REF:
The K144XV RFLK option locks the K3's 2-meter module to the rig's
master reference. Previously, users of this option had to enter offsets
in the CONFIG:XVn OFS menu entry based on how far off the
master reference was from 49380.000 kHz. These offsets can now
be calculated automatically based on the REF CAL menu entry.
If a K3EXREF module is also installed, then REF CAL itself
is automatically calibrated based on an external 10-MHz reference
(see K3EXREF on 2 m, below).

To enable this, locate XVn OFS in the menu, then tap ‘0’ until you see
“REFLOCK”. This lets the K3 firmware know that the RFLK module is
installed. (If the RFLK option is not installed, then the K144XV’s
oscillators are not locked to the K3’s master reference. The offsets
should then be set according to the label on the transverter module.)
To see the automatically calculated offset value in the XVn OFS
menu entry, the K3 should be switched to the 2-meter band. Otherwise,
the K144XV offset parameter may be initially displayed as "-0.00".

K3EXREF on 2 m: If a K3EXREF module is installed, REF CAL itself
will be automatically calibrated based on an external 10-MHz reference.
In this case, selecting “REFLOCK” for XVn OFS will allow the K144XV
frequency to track this external reference. 2-meter frequency accuracy  
will
be about a factor of around two worse than on HF, due to the higher
frequency of the 2-meter local oscillators.

* K3EXREF REF CAL VALUE SAVE: In REF CAL, tapping '1' will
now save the K3EXREF-derived reference value as the manually
entered value. This is useful in the event that the K3 is ever
disconnected from the 10-MHz reference, as it will revert to the
manually entered value. Note: To use this feature, a K3EXREF
module must be installed, a 10-MHz external reference connected,
and an asterisk (*) be present in the menu entry name (“REF*CAL”).
You can then tap '1' to save the value.

* NO ERROR TONE ON KPA500 OPERATE/STANDBY
SWITCHING, etc.: Previously, the K3 would emit an error
tone on any KPA500 switch event. Now such tones are
only emitted if the CONFIG:SW TONE menu entry is set
to ON, or on a hard fault.

K3 Beta Firmware Release: Improved CW text decode

wayne burdick
Administrator
In reply to this post by wayne burdick
K3 beta-test firmware revision 4.58 (with DSP rev. 2.80) is now  
available. This release includes improved built-in CW text decode.

Please send any questions to [hidden email]. For beta firmware  
download instructions, see:

      http://www.elecraft.com/K3/k3_software.htm

73,
Wayne
N6KR

* * *

K3 MCU REV. 4.58 / DSP REV. 2.80, 11-7-2012

* KEYER PADDLE ENABLED IN FSK-D/PSK-D MODES ONLY IF TEXT DECODE IS ON:  
Those using FSK-D/PSK-D via with a computer requested that the paddles  
be disabled when the K3's internal text decode is OFF so that hitting  
the paddles accidentally doesn't interfere with PC-based transmission.

* CW DECODE IMPROVED: The CW decode algorithm now includes its own AGC  
system, independent of regular AGC threshold/slope/decay settings.  
Decode of element spaces vs. word spaces adjust slightly to improve  
rate of copy on average code samples.

CW DECODE TIPS:

- Use the TEXT DEC switch and VFO A to set CW decode threshold. We  
recommend using THR 2 or 3 for most signals, and THR 1 for very weak  
signals. These fixed settings usually work better than AUTO.

- Also use TEXT DEC and VFO B to turn on CW decode and select the  
speed range. The CW 5-40 WPM setting is best for all but the fastest CW.

- Use a narrow WIDTH setting (50-250 Hz when possible)

- If the band is noisy, interfering with copy, try turning on the  
noise blanker (NB) first to reduce the level of impulse noise.

- When there is no CW signal above the required threshold, you'll see  
random characters decoded.

- Copy will vary with sending accuracy, fading, signal level,  
interference, and noise. But the addition of separate CW decode AGC  
definitely helps.

Guy,

Didn't you read the release notes (even quoted in Wayne's email
below)? The other change is that paddle input is disabled in
FSK-D/PSK-D if text decode is not enabled.

Re: K3 Beta Firmware Release: Improved CW text decode

Guy, K2AV
I read the release notes.  And I asked him if there were any other fixes
included.  There are often additional issues repaired which do not involve
documentation and/or operational changes and don't go into the notes.  I
read the entirety of his email and I stand by my question.

73, Guy.

Re: K3 Beta Firmware Release: Improved CW text decode

David Gilbert

That's odd.  I don't remember any beta release that didn't fully
describe the changes that had been made, yet you say that it "often"
happens.  Can you provide a few examples that never were described in
the notes?  I'm curious what might have been changed that I don't know
about.

I'm also curious what kind of issue would get repaired that wouldn't be
an operational issue in one way or another.   Maybe you could give an
example or two of that as well.

Dave   AB7E

Re: K3 Beta Firmware Release: Improved CW text decode

Guy, K2AV
Only the Shadow Knows (Wayne).   You get the answer by asking him  :>)

You don't need additional documentation for a minor touch up of firmware to
make the audio a little bit clearer.  It's just there.  There's an even
chance that some will not hear it, and mentioning it cause a furor among
those who don't hear it.

It's not some great conspiracy.  He calls them very minor.  That's his
call.  So is how much to document also his call.   But sometimes he does
more good than he knows.  Like the huge up-tick in clarity with 4.51.  So
sometimes I get on here and ask.  "Often" is from a historical perspective
and is my personal choice of a descriptor.  You might look at the same list
and disagree.  That's fine.

73, Guy.

Does the latest beta firmware still allow use of the FM filter for transmitting AM?  By the way, the CW decode works great.

Does the latest beta version still include the ability to use the FM filter to transmit on AM?  By the way, the new CW decoder works great.
