New KX3 field-test firmware, rev. 2.82

We could use a few volunteers to help test the latest KX3 firmware. Please email me if you’re interested.
See release notes below. 73, Wayne N6KR * * * KX3 MCU 2.82 / DSP 1.52, 11-6-2017 * SIDETONE VOLUME CAN BE SET LOWER: MON=1 is now about 12 dB lower in volume than it was originally. MON=50 is about the same as the original maximum. * AUTO-OFF TIMER RANGE IS 5 TO 100 MINUTES: Auto-power-off (MENU: AUTO OFF) allows the radio to turn itself off if no controls are touched for the specified length of time. (The original range was 3 to 20 minutes.) If auto power-off is not desired, set the menu parameter to INFINITE (default). * VFO A LOCK DISABLES COARSE VFO A TUNING WITH OFS/B CONTROL: This is intended to prevent accidental frequency changes due to touching the OFS/B control. As long as VFO A is locked, the offset-tuning feature will also be locked. (RIT, if used, is still *not* locked. RIT may be needed to fine-tune received signals even if the VFO itself is locked on a given transmit frequency.) Note: Coarse tuning steps for VFO A are set up per-mode using MENU:VFO CRS. The OFS/B control can be used to coarse-tune VFO A if RIT and XIT are both turned off and the control is not assigned to VFO B (“B” LED). * FILTER BANDWIDTH & ULTIMATE ATTENUATION FIX: Filter bandwidth settings ending in x00 Hz are now increased internally to x50 Hz to ensure excellent ultimate attenuation (stop band). For example, a setting of 400 Hz becomes 450 Hz. This is a temporary workaround for a DSP algorithmic issue with the x00 settings that will be corrected in a future release. Available bandwidth settings are now 50 Hz, 150 Hz, 250 Hz, 350 Hz, etc. These are entirely adequate for virtually all operating purposes. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

I would like to be a beta tester.

Folks, bear with me, I see a beta version of the firmware. I have not followed the threads as of late. About a year ago, we talked about an upgrade for AM for the KX3 and had some beta firmware. I lost track, does 2.76 have the AM solved?

If you want the Field Test firmware, send an email to Wayne.
When it comes out of Field Test, it will be posted as beta. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/17/2017 7:51 AM, [hidden email] wrote: > > Folks, bear with me, I see a beta version of the firmware. > I have not followed the threads as of late. > About a year ago, we talked about an upgrade for AM for the KX3 and had some beta firmware. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |
