K3 beta firmware rev. 3.06: all-mode squelch; SSB power control improved

K3 beta-test firmware revision 3.05 (with DSP rev 2.12) is now
available. For details, see the release notes below. Please send any problem reports to [hidden email]. For instructions on how to load beta firmware, please see: http://www.elecraft.com/K3/k3_software.htm We recommend that you use the latest revision of K3 Utility, which can also be found on the K3 software page. 73, Wayne N6KR * * * MCU 3.06/DSP 2.12 April 1, 2009 * SSB POWER CONTROL: Decreased time that SSB power output takes to reach target when PWR control adjusted. Also eliminated drive level change when ATU TUNE is used. * SQUELCH IN ALL MODES: To use this feature, locate CONFIG:SQ MAIN, then tap '1' until you see "ALL". To use the SUB RF/SQL pot to control both main and sub squelch, set CONFIG:SQ MAIN to =SUB POT. (In this case, MAIN RF will control both main and sub RF GAIN.) If you want independent control of main and sub squelch, set SQ MAIN and SQ SUB to numeric values (0 opens the squelch all the way). SQ MAIN and SQ SUB will then be fully independent. They can be assigned to programmable function switches if you use them frequently. (In this case MAIN RF GAIN and SUB RF GAIN are independent, using the lower concentric pots.) --- http://www.elecraft.com ______________________________________________________________ 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 |

Thank you Wayne! All-mode squelch sounds great. Can't wait to try this
when I get home. 73, James K3JPS On Wed, Apr 1, 2009 at 7:23 PM, wayne burdick <[hidden email]> wrote: > K3 beta-test firmware revision 3.05 (with DSP rev 2.12) is now > available.

I downloaded 3.06 and the squelch works fine but now I have no RF gain control. Am I doing something wrong?

Wayne/all,
If I set SQ MAIN to a value, say 6, I receive audio when the S meter reaches 6 or greater. If I set SQ MAIN to SUB POT I need to turn the pot until the value displayed is a factor of 2x, or 12 in this example. Interesting they aren't the same??

Loaded FW 3.06 yesterday. All OK except....
This morning I cycled through the bands and found 6 meters missing. I am sure that 6m is mapped in. Checked that with K3-EZ and in the config. What happens is this: Cycle up through the different bands and after the 10m band comes 6m? No band noise, not even with pre-amp on. AND the display says 30.000.00 Touching the VFO changes the display to 29.999.99 and the band noise comes in. So probably I'm back at 10m. Another thing I tried was this: Switch to config and go to the band mapping. Cycle through the bands until you reach 6m, and yes it is mapped in. Leave config. Display is at 30.000.00 and K3 reacts the same as mentioned above. Only band I have mapped out is 60m. Am I the only one with this problem? Or maybe I've missed something. 73 Arie PA3A K3 #1255 ______________________________________________________________ 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 |

Arie,
Are you changing bands from the K3 band up/dn button or are you using some software program to select the bands? 73 Greg AB7R On Apr 3, 2009, at 10:39 PM, Arie Kleingeld PA3A wrote: > Loaded FW 3.06 yesterday.
