[Elecraft] K3 BETA FIRMWARE RELEASE -- MCU rev 1.96

[wayne burdick]

K3 beta-test firmware revision 1.96 is now available. As with other 
beta releases, we encourage you to load it, but if you'd rather see how 
things go for everyone else, *then* load it, we'll understand. Please 
send any problem reports to k3support at elecraft.com.

For release notes and instructions on how to load beta firmware, please 
see:

   http://www.elecraft.com/K3/k3_software.htm

The instructions (linked from within the release notes) explain how to 
create a separate folder for the beta revision. This will allow you to 
easily revert to an older revision if you find it necessary. If you had 
previously loaded revision 1.94, please use a separate folder for 1.96.

Release notes also appear below. These reflect the changes since the 
last beta release, 1.94.
