Release notes:

MCU 01.34 / 1-8-2015

* Improved reliability of K3 commands received via RS-232.
   Eliminates firmware load error with older Mac versions of K3 Utility, and reduces flash file load time in all cases.

* Added Noise Blanker.
* Developed a faster method of detecting K3 transmit/receive state changes. Speeds up display resuming after Tx.
* Added data terminal ‘send on space’ to the available data TX modes.
* Added replay of keyboard input using Ctrl-Alt-R. Ctrl-C will clear replay buffer.
* Added ‘\r’ to embed a CR in text message. Use ‘\\’ to send a single ‘\’.
* Added ‘\c’ to embed an incrementing serial counter in a text message. Clearing/presetting counter may be done in the setup screen (Ctrl-Alt-S).
* Text messages sent in data terminal mode now respect the mode setting (VOX, CR, ^T).
* Fixed a bug in data terminal mode that was causing the time-out to not reset correctly.
* Fixed a bug in data terminal mode that was causing non-existent characters to be retrieved and sent. Also fixes a bug of missing characters.
* Added waterfall cursors, these display exactly as they do on the P3 screen.
