New KX3 Beta Firmware, rev. 2.70: Various improvements

wayne burdick
Administrator
Hi all,

Beta firmware rev. 2.70 is now available on our KX3 software page. See release notes below for details.

For instructions on installing beta releases, refer to our KX3 software page. (Beta releases are not automatically recognized by KX3 Utility.)

73,
Wayne
N6KR

* * *


MCU 2.70 / DSP 1.49, 2-17-2017

* AM TX BANDWIDTH INCREASED: The AM transmit bandwidth is now approximately 100-4000 Hz (was 100-3000). TX EQ can be used to further shape the passband.

* AM TX ALC IMPROVEMENTS: Fixed a bug in the AM power-control algorithm that was causing power output to start too high, then decrease over time when the operator is speaking. In addition, peak power output is now displayed, rather than power/4 (25%). This is intended to make the operator aware of the actual output from the radio, which accounts for the observed current drain, stress on dummy loads or antennas, etc.

* SCANNING WORKS WITH FREQUENCIES BELOW 1.0 MHz. Previously, scanning would stall in this case.

For software developers:

* DT, FR, and FT HOST COMMANDS DISALLOWED IN TX MODE: Previously, these commands (data submode, unsplit, and split) could be sent to the K3 during transmit from software applications. This could sometimes cause side effects such as muting of transmit audio in DATA modes.

* RIT CLEAR SWITCH UPDATES RIT OFFSET AT PX3 PANADAPTER.

* POWER-OUTPUT CONTROL COMMAND (“PC”) FIXED: The PC command now correctly handles the KX3’s power ranges (up to 12 W or 15 W depending on band).

* PSK31/PSK63 SELECTION (ETC.) VIA REMOTE COMMAND: When the DATA submode is being modified under remote control, a software application can now select between PSK31/PSK63 using the UP/DN control commands. Similarly, UPB/DNB can be used to select the desired TEXT decode mode (DEC OFF, TX ONLY, RX THRn). To determine the current state of any of these parameters, use the DS or DB commands. Refer to the Programmer’s Reference.

Fantastic!!  Thanks, Wayne & co.

Now, could you provide extended TX audio bandwidth on the K3/K3S also?  It would be good to have it as a proper “feature" .. :-)

  Excellent news, Wayne!

  If only you could consider making the "Mic Btn" settings mode-dependent,
my life would be complete (or thereabouts). Right now this is the #1
setting I need to change all the time: when using the Mic on SSB I have to
enable "Ptt", and when switching to DATA to connect my audio card for
digital modes I need to set it to "Off" because the audio card jack I use
keys PTT... :)

Re: New KX3 Beta Firmware, rev. 2.70: Various improvements

Mark Gebhardt
I would like to see the 3 microphone settings (PTT, Bias, and up/down)
turned off in data mode much the same as the transmit / receive equalizers,
and compression settings are now.

I would also like to add to the list RF Squelch in HF and extend the auto
off timer to 4 hours (in steps) rather than max out at 20 minutes as it is
now.

Thanks,

Mark

In reply to this post by Edouard Lafargue
Ed,

I don't know what audio card you are using, but if it has a stereo plug
on the KX3 end of the cable, it should not turn on PTT.
If it does, I suggest you make up a special cable with stereo plugs at
both ends, and connect only the tip and shell of the plugs.
That should eliminate your problems with PTT being activated in DATA A mode.

73,
Don W3FPR

  Oh yes, I had forgotten bias as well - ptt/bias/updown should definitely
be mode-dependent so that we can disable all those in DATA mode.

Thanks Mark

Re: [KX3] Re: New KX3 Beta Firmware, rev. 2.70: Various improvements

Rick Tavan-2
In reply to this post by Edouard Lafargue
I was several releases back and just installed this beta so my question
probably applies to an earlier release.

I was dismayed to see that frequency display resolution (all 3 of them) is
now down to the the single Hz! That's three decimal places. I always
thought two decimal places was too many, given the typical resolution of
the display. Is there a way to truncate this, say to the nearest one KHz?
Even the P3 only goes down to hundreds of Hz. This is a radio, not a
laboratory instrument!

Re: [KX3] Re: New KX3 Beta Firmware, rev. 2.70: Various improvements

I have tended to use the RATE/KHZ button to change the dial speed/display
resolution when tuning around.

Re: [KX3] Re: New KX3 Beta Firmware, rev. 2.70: Various improvements

Rick Tavan-2
Sorry, Aaron, I wasn't clear. I'm talking about the freq displays on the
PX3, not on the KX3. RATE/KHz only effects the KX3 display and works fine.
