Installed the TX monitor as I was building the new P3 adapter. Easy as
others have indicted. After loading all the firmware from the production side of the Elecraft web site to test initial functionality, I loaded the Beta code to enable the TX Monitor features. Everything went well ... having the real time SWR and power output in addition to the modulation envelope is a very nice addition to the capabilities of the K Line.

I got my TX monitor but not installed yet. However, I am surprised that
Beta code is required as noted in the quoted message below. I didn’t know this. Beta required for a released product? 73, phil, K7PEH > On Aug 8, 2015, at 5:35 PM, Jobst Vandrey <[hidden email]> wrote: > > ….<some parts deleted>… > > After loading all the firmware from the production > side of the Elecraft web site to test initial functionality, > Beta code to enable the TX Monitor features.verything went well > …<some parts deleted>. > Great Job Elecraft > > 73s > > Jobst > AC0LP ______________________________________________________________ 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] |

The current production release code for the P3 is over a year old - the Txmonitor function hardware was introduced at Dayton this year and the first units did not ship till about a week ago so the firmware has not yet caught up to current. I suspect that between Dayton and version 1.50 of the Beta code last week, there were a number of changes made to improve the code based on tester feedback. Example - at Dayton, the FAQ indicated that the monitor function would only work with the K3 but the latest FAQ says it will work with an transceiver. With my limited experience so far, the firmware does appear very stable even if it is still classified officially as Beta. I will continue to use the system and migrate to new versions of firmware as it becomes available just as I have done with the K3. Just my $0.02 73 Jobst AC0LP On Sat, Aug 8, 2015 at 8:41 PM, Phil Hystad <[hidden email]> wrote: > I got my TX monitor but not installed yet.

My TX Monitor arrived today. (Got to hate those customs charges).
Installation went smoothly in less than 20 mins and once powered up, a couple of menu changes and everything is working perfectly, Tnx to the crew at Elecraft for the TX Monitor option and the speedy shipping..... 73 De Mike VE3YF http://www.ve3yf.com ______________________________________________________________ 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] |
