K3 Beta Release Update (MCU 2.20, DSP 1.88)

wayne burdick
Administrator
Several customers noticed a problem with noise reduction in yesterday's
beta release (MCU 2.19/DSP 1.87). This has been corrected, and we've
changed the revisions to 2.20 / 1.88. The files are available now. See:

Must be just you. Which link are you looking at? The actual files are
at:

ftp://ftp.elecraft.com/K3/firmware/beta/

But the link in Wayne's email reflects 2.20 for me also... try a
shift-reload in your browser, maybe?

Larry,

Version 2.20 is there - your browser is probably giving you a cached
copy of the page, try doing a page refresh in browser.

This isn't that big of a deal , but wasn't the MIC up/down buttons (to
control the frequency) working at one time?  If it was, it isn't anymore...

In reply to this post by wayne burdick
Hi,

I just upgraded to 2.20/1.88 from 2.15/1.84 and find that the audio level on both line out and headphones dropped by almost 10dB (without making any changes to settings). The drop on the line out is a measured value using a VU meter app on the PC. This is for signal levels well above the AGC threshold which is set to the default of 5. I am not happy about this. I suppose I could compensate the headphone level by switching the AF gain from LO to HI, but why this *big* level difference just from fixing some obscure AGC bug? And surprises like this are really very unwelcome. I am sure that I am not the only one who has carefully adjusted recording levels on the computer only to find that things have changed dramatically. I am back on 2.15/1.84

There is a menu feature to turn them on I believe.  Have you looked at that
and made sure it was enabled?
