P3/SVGA BETA 1.18/1.07 Now available for download

[Paul Saffren N6HZ]

IMPORTANT:  PLEASE MAKE SURE DATA DISPLAY MODE IS DISABLED BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO UPGRADE THE FIRMWARE (only if you installed the previous beta)

P3SVGA_0118BETA.zip has been placed in the Elecraft P3 Beta firmware directory: ftp://ftp.elecraft.com/P3/firmware/beta/

Here are the release notes for this build:   (for instructions on how to use data display mode, refer to the included file: DataQuickStart.pdf)

P3SVGA 01.07 / 08-01-2012
 
* Fixed a bug where the data windows would not re-size correctly and caused the video to show vertical bars over entire screen.
* Un-initialized macros now show as <empty> instead of all dashes.
* Typing the vertical bar ‘|’ or embedding it in a text message reverts the K3 to receive immediately.
* Pressing Ctrl-F while entering a macro definition inserts the current VFO frequency including RIT, into the macro using the FA format, i.e. FA0007020000;
* All of the numeric keypad keys can now be used for macros/text messages.
* Tx timeout now works in when CR is used to send Tx text.  The K3 will remain in Tx during the timeout and text can be entered and sent immediately.
* Timeout can now be set from 0 – 90,000 ms (0 – 90 seconds)
* Fixed span adjustment so that it now shows correct 500 Hz steps when span is below 10 KHz.
* The second LED on the SVGA board now lights when a keyboard is attached and is off when keyboard is removed.

 

MCU 01.18/ 8-1-2012

* The SVGA data mode on/off state is now stored in EEPROM.
* Fixed a bug where the VFO B cursor would not change color when SPLIT was selected on the K3 while the SVGA data mode was enabled.


P3SVGA 01.05 / 7-20-2012

* Data display mode added for external monitor.
* USB keyboard support added.
* Video resolutions 1024x768, 1280x1024 and 1920x1080 now use a PLL generated clock making them more compatible with a variety of monitors.


MCU 01.17 / 7-20-2012

* Supports SVGA data mode, including new SVGA menu entries:  "SVGA data" on/off, "SVGA fntD" (data display font), "SVGA WinR" (receive window size), and "SVGA WinT" (transmit window size).
