KX3 beta firmware rev. 2.27: automatically turns on RX I/Q port for PX3 use

[wayne burdick]

KX3 rev. 2.27 is now available for beta test (see release notes below). Instructions for loading beta firmware can be found on our KX3 firmware page:

  http://www.elecraft.com/KX3/KX3_software.htm

NOTE 1:  If you don't see the new releases on our web site, it's probably because your browser has cached an older page. Just hit your browser's "refresh" button (usually a circular arrow icon).

NOTE 2:  Turn off your KXPA100 and PX3 (if applicable) when doing KX3 firmware loads. This requirement will be eliminated in future versions of KX3 Utility.

MCU 2.27 / DSP 1.30, 11-10-2014


• RX I/Q PORT TURNED ON AUTOMATICALLY WITH PX3 ATTACHED: The KX3 now turns on the RX I/Q output whenever it detects an attached PX3. This eliminates the problem of image signals in the PX3 display due to RX I/Q being accidentally turned off.

• IMPROVED FIRMWARE LOADING: The KX3 now cleanly handles the case where new MCU firmware is incompatible with old DSP firmware in the middle of a full firmware load sequence. An error message may still appear in this case, but load timing will not be affected, allowing the new DSP firmware to be loaded correctly.
