New K3 Utility versoin 1.2.8.10 (for Windows) available on Elecraft web site

[Dick Dievendorff]

K3 Utility version 1.2.8.10 (for Windows only, the Mac and Linux ports are
in progress and will follow shortly) is available on Elecraft's K3 software
web page http://www.elecraft.com/K3/k3_software.htm.

 

K3 Utility changes since 1.2.3.18 include:

 

-          Support for the RF Gain calibration procedure (see Configuration
page, RF Gain calibration button).  The RF Gain calibration procedure
requires MCU firmware 3.25 and later (beta firmware).

 

-          A function to set the K3's date and time to the value of the
personal computer's clock (TU W4SMT, W6FVI).  This is also on the
Configuration tab page, "Set K3 Date and Time" button.

 

-          DSP firmware load now includes a fresh load of the associated
DTBL table file.

 

-          Installer now permits the K3 Utility to be installed on Windows
98 as well as later versions.

 

-          Enable configuration save on MCU revisions earlier than 2.48.

What is required of a signal generator to do the RF gain calibration?

The signal generator should have the ability to send an S9 signal  
( -73 dBm) on a frequency the K3 receives. I think that's about it.
