K3 FIRMWARE UPDATE REQUIRED if you have an Elecraft 2.7 kHz crystal filter

If you have already received your K3, you'll need to update your
firmware in order to use our 5-pole, 2.7-kHz crystal filter. Older firmware doesn't set up the correct passband during transmit in SSB modes, and also doesn't allow DSP bandwidth settings below 350 Hz in receive mode. To obtain K3 firmware updates, you'll need our K3 Utility program, which can be found at: http://www.elecraft.com/K3/k3_software.htm Instructions are provided in the program itself. Just click on the "Help" tab. Even though we'll be announcing all future K3 firmware updates, you may wish to select "Check Versions Every 6 Hours" in the "Firmware" panel of the utility program. The program will then notify you automatically if a new revision is available. 73, Wayne N6KR --- http://www.elecraft.com _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

I'll need that announcement mail, since I use a Mac to interface to my rig.
I have a wintel laptop and will use that for updates, but its only on when it has to be.

YES! - THANK YOU David / Elecraft.
While I can use the Wintel laptop, having it on OSX will be so much less hassle. I assume that will be 10.4 and up. And hopefully, my microHAM Digi keyer will act as a straight through. (yes I have the KUSB on order).

Hi David,
If the microHam Mac drivers allow you to create virtual serial ports that are recognized by OS X, then the digi keyer should work w/o any need for the KUSB. If not, then you'll need the KUSB. I'm not sure what chipset the KUSB uses, but there should be OS X drivers available. I'm using Keyspan USB to serial devices. I've tested on 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5. Should work on 10.2 also. But everyone should upgrade to Leopard (10.5). It's way cool.

Thanks for that, yes, the DK does act as virtual serial, or at least does
for the FT-859, should do for the K2 when they get a cable done. And that's a reason to hang on the the KUSB - which I purchased just so I had the one sold by Elecraft. And on Leopard, I certainly will upgrade, but never in the first month or so - I've seen too many problems with new OS's - never upgrade until someone else has been using it for a bit.

Obviously I can't speak for all of them, but my KUSB uses the Prolific
chipset.

Don (MLDX) and Chen (cocaModem/uH Router) write to the hardware specification. There is no virtual serial port interface in any of the OSX or LINUX software. In spite promises from several LINUX developers (who have been provided both hardware and documentation) nobody has created a LINUX or OSX equivalent to Router's virtual serial port interface. Rumor has it that Router will run under VMware or Parallels but I have not been able to confirm that. 73, ...

I can confirm that the router *runs* on Vista under VMWare on 10.5. I can create virtual com ports that are recognized by other apps. However, I don't have the mh hardware, so I can't confirm it will work with it. Should though.
