[Elecraft] K3 Beta Release: APF for CW; "Fast Monitor" & improved TX gate for voice modes

[Fred Jensen]

WOW!!  I wondered who the pile up was for around 14017 or so.  Tuning 
down a couple, I heard an S[minus]1 signal I couldn't make out, sounded 
like 9A something, sometimes GT[?].  Figuring there wouldn't be a huge 
pileup on a 9A, I engaged APF.  Right out of the noise, maybe S3 and 
easily copyable was 9U0A.  As usual, K6RIM beat me to him.  I'm still 
digesting all the NR/NB/AGC stuff "The Smiths" sent me, I'm thinking 
this can only get better.

Nice going guys!
