[Elecraft] [K3] APF in CQWW

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Hi Jorge:

It's all in the release notes with the beta firmware on the Elecraft web
site: www.elecraft.com

Click on Firmware+SW on the sidebar menu. What you want is at the top of the
page that loads: click on "K3 Firmware Updates and Download/Config Utility".
The current firmware is the  top listed on the page the comes up next. Also,
be sure to use the latest K3 Utility program. They are available when you
scroll down to the bottom of that page. 

Have fun - 

73,

Ron AC7AC

I loaded 4.22 for the CQWW CW this weekend and had a great time playing with
it.  2 of my beverages are not working so I originally thought I would just
need APF where my missing beverages were out, but I ended up trying it in
many 80 and 160 situations and found it extremely useful.  At first, I
didn't read the instructions well enough to turn the correct knob to adjust
APF, but I finally figured it out.  It REALLY brought signals out of the
noise that were hard to copy.  Amazing!  It helped me get 72 countries on 80
and 52 countries on 160 this weekend in a single op effort.  My only request
would be to cut the ringing/gain (whichever applies) back just a bit but it
really adds contacts to your score.  Maybe the gain could be user adjustable
in a menu?

Great new tool!
