PX3 firmware revision 1.48 is now available for download as a general release using the PX3 Utility. This version is essentially the previous beta 1.45 along with a few minor fixes and one additional feature. There is a new version of the PX3 Programmer's Reference (rev A6) as well a new errata (A8-1), which are both available from the Elecraft website.
Release notes for this version:
MCU 1.48 / 02/08/2017
Note: refer to the latest PX3 manual and PX3 Programmer's Reference for more information regarding these new features.
* Adds: USB MSD (mass storage device, memory stick, thumb drive) support. Most types of flash drives are supported. Added a new sub-menu called “MSD menu” which includes the following features:
+ Scrn shot – takes a .bmp screen shot of the current screen.
+ ConfgSave – saves the current configuration.
+ ConfgRstr – restores the configuration.
+ XportMacr – exports macros/text messages to a file which can be edited.
+ ImprtMacr – imports macros/text messages from a file.
+ Set Clock – allows setting of the clock used for file operations.
* Adds: Serial commands #MAA, #MBA to adjust A or B markers by an incrementing or decrementing. The adjustment value is the same as used by the K3/KX3 UP and DN commands. Usage: #MAAsn
s = + to increment, - to decrement
n = 0 adjust by 1 Hz
n = 1 “ “ 10 Hz
n = 2 “ “ 20 Hz
n = 3 “ “ 50 Hz
n = 4 “ “ 1 kHz
n = 5 “ “ 2 kHz
n = 6 “ “ 3 kHz
n = 7 “ “ 5 kHz
n = 8 “ “ 100 Hz
n = 9 “ “ 200 Hz
Or:
#MAAs
s = + to increment, - to decrement. The step size is automatically determined by the current span and mode:
USB, LSB, AM & FM
Span < 5 kHz – step = 10 Hz
Span 2-9.99 kHz – step = 20 Hz
Span 10-49.9 kHz – step = 50 Hz
Span 50-99.1 kHz – step = 100 Hz
Span 100-200 kHz – step = 200 Hz
CW & Data
Span < 5 kHz – step = 2 Hz
Span 2-9.99 kHz – step = 20 Hz
Span 10-49.9 kHz – step = 50 Hz
Span 50-99.1 kHz – step = 100 Hz
Span 100-200 kHz – step = 200 Hz
* Adds: Frequency displays now show all digits including the Hz digit. This includes the center frequency adjustment and marker values. Note that markers adjust by values determined by the current span setting.
* Adds: To enter the text decode scratchpad, you can now use either Insert or Alt-P. To send the scratchpad, you can now use either Ctrl-Insert or Ctrl-P .
* Adds: #MSS msd screen shot serial command.
As this is a general release, please direct all questions, bugs, etc to Elecraft Customer Support.
