[Elecraft] K3 Utility Version 1.1.4.1 available (round 3)

[Dick Dievendorff]

A new K3 Utility version 1.1.4.1 has been made available on the Elecraft web
site http://www.elecraft.com/K3/k3_software.htm for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
 
This new version has three major features:
 
A new “Front Panel Flash” (FPF) firmware loader.  Starting with MCU version
1.79, some large data tables will be moved to a front-panel flash memory
device ("FPF").  This frees up space for many new firmware features.

A new Crystal Filter Configuration dialog, which is accessed from the
Configuration tab page.  (This feature is currently available only in the
Windows version of the K3 Utility).

A simple “terminal emulator” which may be helpful for simple CW, RTTY, and
PSK communications.  It uses the K3’s internal text decoding functions.
MCU firmware improvements are planned that will make the terminal function
easier and more convenient to use.  (This feature is currently available
only in the Windows version of the K3 Utility).
 
K3 Utility Help describes these features in more detail.
 
The Firmware page has a new FPF row for the Front Panel Flash firmware
file.  

IMPORTANT NOTE: The FPF “Available Version” will be “Missing” until MCU 1.79
and the corresponding FPF firmware file are published. This is to be
expected.
 
This new K3 Utility Version can load earlier firmware versions.  

This new K3 Utility version is REQUIRED to load MCU version 1.79 (and
later). Earlier K3 Utility versions do not have the FPF firmware load
capability.
 
Dick, K6KR
