[Elecraft] K3 Firmware Update

We've released a new revision of K3 firmware (both MCU and DSP). Please 
see the release notes below.

* * *

MCU 1.65 and DSP 1.52, 1-27-08

   * TUNE POWER level menu entry added (TUN PWR). This determines the 
power level used
     when the TUNE switch is pressed. The default, "NOR", uses the power 
knob setting.
     Alternatively, the value can be set to any power level from 0.1-120 
W.

  *  EXTERNAL CW TIMING IMPROVED: Corrected rise/fall time asymmetry. 
Internal
     and external keyers should now be closely matched in weighting.
     NOTE: You may need to reduce the weight of external keying, if you 
had increased
     it to compensate.

   * REAL-TIME-CLOCK display now keeps accurate time. The RTC IC itself 
was running
     accurately, but the VFO B time display was running about 10% slow.

   * MODE SWITCH now only cycles through one sideband (LSB or USB) on 
each band --
     not both. Saves time when switching modes, especially useful in 
contest situations.
     Use the ALT switch (hold the left end of MODE) to switch between 
LSB and USB (per-band).
     NOTE: As a result of this change, you may need to re-select the 
desired sideband on
     some bands. You'll only have to do this once.

   * S-METER ACCURACY Improved. Suggest using SMTR SC=14 and SMTR OF=24
     (these are the normal defaults).
