[Elecraft] K3 Firmware 3.23 is very nice!

[K5WA]

I loaded the beta firmware 3.23 mainly to get the 10 Hz tuning on the pass
band.  It is very smooth and really moves the K3 up another notch on the way
to perfection.  OK, I guess I'm letting the mojo get to me.  ;-)

 

I read a post a couple of days before I loaded 3.23 saying that the pass
band tuning made "popping" noises at each 10 Hz.  I don't hear anything like
that in both my K3s.just nice smooth band passing as it should be.  (My K3s
do not have the sub receiver and I've only played with it on CW, if that
makes any difference).  

 

I also tried Wayne's suggestion of using the NR with the 10 Hz pass band and
250 Hz filter to approximate competitive rig's "peaking" feature, but I have
not found that to my liking.  I'll do some more experimenting this weekend
in the NAQP contest to see if I can find an advantage to it.
