[Elecraft] K3's 2-m module (K144XV): Need testers for major performance improvement

[N6JW]

Hi Wayne:

I've just purchased a K144XV and will be installing it (probably on 
Wednesday).  If this is not too far out of your projected testing timeframe, 
I would be happy to try the new firmware.

Thanks,

John, N6JW
