[Elecraft] K3 Beta Firmware

[Robert Naumann]

I take a wait and see attitude and I update my firmware once every 6 months
or so. My original firmware worked quite well and I was actually pleased
with the radio's performance before upgrading anything. Of course, there are
new features and enhancements in new releases, but they are not mandatory by
any means.

If you don't have a problem, don't upgrade.

Thanks for your response Dave and Don, but I do not agree.  I see too many
complaints of one sort or another on the reflector about problems with beta
releases.  I don't like computers and use them minimally and thus have no
interest in  loading in a update to experiment with, then reverting back to
earlier version in case of problems -- that is what beta testers enjoy
doing.  And I suspect there are quite a few guys like me.

If everyone is supposed to load the beta releases, what is the purpose of a
regular release?  And Don, has there been no stable beta release sine May
that could be issued as the new production release?
