[Elecraft] Version 1.0.2 of K3 Filter Tools

[Mike Downs]

I have uploaded Version 1.0.2 of K3 Filter Tools to my web site: http://mysite.verizon.net/ks7d It fixes a couple of bugs in the program and adds some enhancements:

Bug fixes:

·         Tech Mode not turned on when dBV Linear Range or Filter Sweep procedures initiated resulting in meaningless data output if user's K3 not already set to Tech Mode On;

·         Reset K3 button not disabled when dBV Linear Range or Filter Sweep procedures running;


Enhancements:

·         Program now checks for presence of KAT3 ATU. If KAT3 is installed user is alerted to bypass it before running test;

·         Added support for serial ports COM 11 through COM 20;

·         Program now sets AF Gain at low value (005) before AGC is turned off to prevent loud burst of sound when dBV Linear Range or Filter Sweep are initiated. AF Gain is reset to user's initial setting when Reset K3 button is clicked;

·         Moved location and name of Begin Test button on dBV Linear Range form to make it more intuitive that the Quick Test button does not use the RF Gain start, stop and increment settings. Begin Test renamed to Full Test which does use the RF gain entries made by the user.

·         Help files have added topics and information to assist user in running dBV Linear Range and Filter Sweep procedures.

 

More to come... I have several suggestions from users for enhancements. Also, I will shortly be receiving my KRX3. After I install it I will add the ability to run filter sweeps on the crystal filters installed on the sub-receiver.

Thank you to all who have reported bugs and suggested enhancements.
