[Elecraft] K3: preview of coming attractions

[wayne burdick]

Hi all,

I'm leaving Saturday for a long-planned 10-day vacation. I thought we'd 
be doing another firmware update before I left. Instead, we'll give our 
intrepid field testers more time with this new code, then release it 
when I get back.

Here's a sneak preview. All of these features have been fully 
implemented:

  - transmit RF delay for slow amplifier relays
  - FM mode, complete with per-band/per-memory PL tones and repeater 
splits
  - wider-bandwidth AM and SSB receive
  - further improvements to SSB transmit, including a boost in 
low-frequency response
  - "absolute" S-meter alternative (reading stays the same with 
preamp/attn changes)
  - a variation on LIN OUT that allows recording of both RX and TX audio
  - MIC+LINE IN operation for SSB contesters
  - reflected-power-based KPA3 amplifier protection

Many of these have been on the short list for a long time, so we're 
anxious to get this major release into your hands. Full details will be 
provided in the release notes.

73,
Wayne
N6KR
