KX3 Production Firmware (rev 1.23) -- Misc. improvements

[wayne burdick]

KX3 production firmware rev 1.23 (with DSP rev 0.99) is now available.  
See release notes below. This update is appropriate for all KX3  
owners, especially if you are installing a KXBC3 battery charger.

You'll need our KX3 Utility application to download and install  
firmware. For full instructions, refer to our KX3 software page:

Thanks,

* * *

MCU 1.23 / DSP 0.99, 10-17-2012

* FM MODE SELECTION AF ARTIFACT: Eliminated.

* RECEIVE AUDIO LOST ON BAND CHANGE: Fixed.

* KXBC3 TIME-SET ERROR (etc.): Fixed. In very rare cases, KX3s were
unable to communicate with the KXBC3 module.

* XVTR BAND DISPLAY FIXED for cases where 100’s of MHz digits are 00
(e.g., RF band = 3400 MHz).

* SIDETONE MAX VOLUME SETTING INCREASED to 40. Note: This is a very
high level. We increased it to support those with hearing loss or very
inefficient headphones. Most operators will use settings in the 1 to
20 range.

* RIT/XIT NEVER LOCKED: VFO lock now only applies to the VFO, not RIT
or XIT.

I did not request the Beta 1.22; therefore did not load it.
The release notes for 1.22 indicate that there are Applications Notes
available for the sideband nulling per band.

I apparently are Elecraft web site-challenged in that I can not find
application notes for the KX3.

Help will be appreciated.
