MCU 3.11 / DSP 2.15  April 18, 2009

Misc. Improvements:

* DATA SUB-MODE NOW SAVED/RESTORED CORRECTLY: On power up and on some
band changes, the data sub-mode (e.g. FSK D) was getting lost.

* ERROR TONE PITCH PROBLEMS FIXED: The sidetone pitch was getting
changed by certain error conditions and when doing TUNE.

* SWITCH TONES NO LONGER GETTING STUCK ON: In AM mode with wide AM
bandwidths selected, tapping HI/WIDTH or LO/SHIFT could leave the
switch feedback tones on, or omit the second switch tone entirely.

* BALANCE CONTROL MOVEMENT JUST AFTER POWER-UP NOW OK: Someone noticed
that if you power up the rig with the sub turned on, then move BALANCE
(SUB AF) before moving AF GAIN, the main receiver AF would be lost
temporarily.

I'm happy for those of you more perceptive than I, but if there's a  
download link there it must be some kind of contest to find it.

No link.  I've tried 3 different browsers.

Go to the bottom of the link to Software and click the FTP link then
"Firmware". You'll find 3.11 there.

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ]

Oops! I mistakenly deleted the link for beta download instructions when
I edited the K3 software page. It is now there.

See http://www.elecraft.com/K3/k3_software.htm

There is a link for beta download instructions in red right under the
beta release version number and title. The beta instructions page has
the link to the zip file.

Sorry about that!

73, Eric  WA6HHQ

I, too, would like to know the estimated plan for an updated manual.  I'd like to get a fresh one printed at Kinkos/Fedex, but will wait if an update is expected reasonably soon.
