K3 FW 4.31 problem

I recently loaded new firmware 4.31 and observed the following when used with PowerSDR-IF and LPPAN.
PowerSDR enters MUTE status when K3 buttons RIT, XIT, XMIT, Menu are used. Also happens when K3 is keyed with key or paddle. PowerSDR-IF MUTE triggers and will not disengage automatically but will release when clicked with mouse.
Has anyone else noticed?

Steve,

I just tried this and I get something a little different. The mute button
did not come on when I controlled RIT and XIT directly from the radio. But
with N1MM open and the command for CLEARRIT executes then the MUTE button on
PowerSDR does come on.

Re: K3 FW 4.31 problem

Well I didn't mention that I'm also running Logger32 along with PWRSDR-IF from LP-Bridge.... I tried closing Logger32 but still, when I just tap the key, MUTE kicks on and won't go off until I click it with the mouse. Strange.

Re: [LP-PAN] K3 FW 4.31 problem

In reply to this post by Steve Ellington

Hi Steve. I tried 4.31 with the current version of LP-Bridge and I
couldn't reproduce this with just LP-Bridge or with LP-Bridge and
PowerSDR/IF v1.19.3.5. I did have a little trouble getting 4.31 to load,
but after a couple tries it loaded OK. It is normal for PowerSDR to mute
when XMIT is pressed or key/paddle is used, but in my case it releases
quickly as it should. What polling rate are you using for LP-Bridge and
what kind of serial port do you have? I have an FTDI USB to serial
adapter on my laptop. The OS is W7 32-bit.

Re: [LP-PAN] K3 FW 4.31 problem

Well I just checked it again and now it's working ok. I guess the reboot from last night fixed it. Sorry if I caused any confusion!
