K3 Beta Firmware
Locked
 
|
My K3 #3408 was shipped with v. 3.27. I don't know if it is a release
version or beta. I can't find it on the site anywhere. When I tried to load v. 3.30 my rig locked up. They claim I have a bad KIO3 board and sent me another about a week ago so it's about half way here. It took 14 days for my K3 to get here. Six days of that time it sat in Canadian Customs then Canada Post had it for another six days. This makes the US Postal Service look pretty good! -Robby VY2SS ______________________________________________________________ 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 |

#3539 came with 3.30. AFAICT, it was flawless, but then I don't yet know
most of what the K3 can do. I'm sure having fun exploring! Mike NF4L robby robertson wrote: > My K3 #3408 was shipped with v. 3.27. I don't know if it is a release > version or beta.

I installed the latest 3.44 firmware and the associated DSP firmware
yesterday. The install went without a problem although I am always a bit anxious at the completion bars slowly march across the screen! I've noticed with the NR engaged and the BW control being adjusted that the audio blanks as each step occurs (a popping sound). I don't remember that being there with my previous version 3.3. The blanking does not occur with the NR off. It just smoothly changes the bandwidth. Does anyone else notice this condition? Is it a function of the changes made to eliminate the audio screech? So far everything else seems to be functioning OK. 73 Elliott WA6TLA K3 S/N 3381 ______________________________________________________________ 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 |

I noticed it in the AM broadcast band (.690), regardless of NR. There's
a tiny bit of it on the low end of 160M also. I'd describe it as if the BW control had a pawl, or detent. #3539 Mike, NF4L Elliott Lawrence wrote: > I installed the latest 3.44 firmware and the associated DSP firmware > yesterday.

On AM this has always been, at least on my unit SNR around 1500.
This K3 radio sure has a lot of artifacts. / SM2EKM -------------------- Mike wrote: > I noticed it in the AM broadcast band (.690), regardless of NR.

I sure like the NR performance on CW even with very narrow filtering.
The new NR has enabled me to copy stations that had been obliterated by noise at my rather noisy inner suburban QTH. 73, Chuck Guenther NI0C K2 s/n 5853 K3 s/n 1061 ______________________________________________________________ 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 |
