Anyone else have this???  

My toast has been coming out burned on one side ONLY
AFTER the MCU  1.69 update. 

Before the update my toast always came out perfect.  I
have never unplugged nor moved my toaster, so I know
it's not that.  

What the #$%^ are you folks doing with my K3
firmware???  !!!

Please advise. 

** No I never thought to email  K3Support at elecraft.com
directly, this is the ONLY email address I know how  to
use.

Don't know about the toast, but my sideband selection is very one sided. I  
remember the upgrade that drove the display to the popular sideband, but 
haven't  yet located the note with instructions to invoke the other sideband. 
 
On a good note - I was bemoaning the fact that I don't have a WARC  band 
antenna up at the moment and I wanted to work the guys on Ducie on 17M they  were 
very loud this afternoon. Hit the ATU Tune on the K3 and my 80M dipole  
instantly became a 1:1 match on  18.7MHz. Worked 'em 599 (honest 599) and  went to 
30 M. Again the  ant tuned to 1.2:1 and could hear lots of activity  but no 
VP6DX yet so I worked a few East coast.  I cannot complain about the  ATU in the 
K3 - first rate.  Now, back to the SSB issue. . .
