Re: KX3 rev. 2.33: Improved NEW QSK mode, flat RX EQ in DATA modes

[Jim Sheldon]

Just finished a nice QSO on 40 meters and the right channel click using
NEW QSK seems to be completely gone (or so low my old ears can't detect
it).  I set the 60 meter channels up in memories using the K3/KX3 memory
editor and tried running through the modes and used TUNE and ATU-TUNE
into a dummy load.  They seem to work okay.  I didn't put a signal on
the air as there were QSO's in progress on all the channels.

Channel hopping - My PX3 updates properly, changing modes and it works
on 2 meters with the transverter as well.  I hooked up my SignaLink USB
and checked the EQ settings - they now auto-set to no EQ when DATA modes
are selected - Ran my HAL ST-8000 super RTTY AFSK modem through it and
same there on RTTY.

My testing shows everything is OK, but it's possible I missed something.
  However, I'd put it up for Beta and get a wider range of testers for a
deeper perspective - I beat on it pretty hard, but there are some guys
out there that could break a steel beam without even trying - LOL.
