KX3 2metre module installation

Barry Middleton
Hello,
            Just have to say that the installation of the 2 metre module
in my KX3 went very smoothly, even these 78 year old hands managed the
mini co-ax connectors. However when it came to upgrading the firmware I
had a small problem, the MCU 2.23 installed with no problem, but Mr
Murphy stepped in on the DSP 1.30, in the middle of loading I suffered a
power cut, it didn't like that one bit. Still after the power returned
all went smoothly. The sensitivity is far better than my other 2 metre
rigs, so thank you Elecraft for a first class product.

I also installed the 2m module without incident. It doesn't work so well if you have dual watch enabled in FM mode though -- it's not really a valid use case, but if the user ends up in that configuration inadvertently, it may leave them wondering why they can't key up a repeater.
