K3 new Beta

[Barry Simpson]

I just downloaded the latest beta version. However I did not get beyond problems on 40m.

 

It made the pa unstable and with reduced output as I went higher in frequency from the lower (7000) band edge. I also had a high current warning even into a dummy load.

 

I have reverted to the previous (non beta) version and all is ok again. I do not understand why a firmware upgrade should cause this problem but it did.

Barry,

So far I can't duplicate this. All bands are fine, with no instability.

Did you do a complete firmware load? (Use "send All firmware to K3").

Please e-mail me directly if you're still having trouble.

I got my K3 up and going today.  The only glitch was error messages in
Synthesizer calibration.  Minor modifications to T1 fixed that, and
everything else seems OK so far.  What an fantastic radio!
