KX3; Firmware Update

[Uwe Hermanns]

Hi,

I'm waiting for new firmware for the KX3. For example, there still is a
"tbd" in the SMTR Mode menu... and this after so many years :-(

Is there any chance of a future firmware update including the RTC correction
factor that the KX2 has?  Also - it would be nice if the KX3 utility had the
same "Set KX2 Time" function that is in the KX2 - it makes it super quick to
recalibrate.

It was pointed out to me that the Utility already has the KX3 setting
function under the "Configuration" tab (I missed that somehow), and also
that the design of the RTC in the KX3 may not allow for tuning via firmware.
Thank you all.

I had actually forgotten that “absolute mode” for the S-meter still showed up as “TBD” on the KX3.  I re-discovered it while following the instructions for radio setup prior to calibrating opposite sideband null.  I was also hoping for synchronous AM, but that didn’t show up either, although I don’t recall it ever being advertised.

Neither is particularly critical for most KX3 users if you aren’t using the radio as the main station, although there’s much to be said for both features.

Perhaps the 8 cores of processing power in the KX4 will include these?   :-) :-)

Hi.

The KX3 Utility Rev 1.18.7.3 (the Linux version* at least) does have a
"Set KX3 Time" function, under the "Configuration" tab.

Perhaps there is a later rev utility for your system OS, than you have
at the moment?
