New P3 beta firmware

[Alan Bloom]

Beta version 1.05 of P3 firmware is now posted on the Elecraft web site.
This adds some features to enhance the new fixed-tune mode, improvements
in transverter operation, more-accurate VFO cursor displays, and several
bug fixes.

One of the bugs was that upgrading between certain versions of firmware
would cause certain parameters to be stored incorrectly in EEPROM.  If,
for example, you have seen strange operation on transverter bands after
a firmware upgrade, try doing a parameter initialization (as described
in the Troubleshooting section of the manual) to reset the parameters.

Fred,
It is a beta version so you will need to download from the P3 beta ftp site
     ftp://ftp.elecraft.com/P3/firmware/beta/
Then browse in the P3 utility to where you downloaded the zip file
(p3m0105.zip). I have a directory to keep the firmware so I can locate them
easily.
