[Elecraft] K3 APF Problem

[Craig - AE6RR]

Thanks to all the replied offline.

I now have the latest manual (D9 version) and the release notes for the
firmware.  Let's see if it helps my pull VP8ORK out of the noise on 80m
tonight.

I did work them on 40m CW and SSB last night with the K3 and an ALS-1300
amp.

I am still a new K3 user and learning the radio.  I have looked through the
manual a couple of times and I cannot find out how to turn APF on.  I must
be missing that.  It sounds like a useful feature and might help pull VP8ORK
out of the noise.

If you enable advanced mode in the utility preferences, you can chose to 
only load specific files.

Be careful with this, as DSP, CPU, FPF files etc from a release must all 
match the release set.  That's why we recommend clicking on the 'load 
all files' button.

utility to load only certain firmware rather than a complete reload.  There
is a feature to upload only new revisions but nothing to reload only a
single firmware.  Second, zip a complete set of compatible firmware files
into one file, unzip it in the utility and load from those files only.  This
could eliminate the problem I had that took several emails and three days to
correct.  Of course, individual files could be left on the server for those
desiring to download individual files.

noticed very little ringing.  It makes the audio sound a bit more crisp
making it easier to hear.  Guess that is a result of enhancing the "Q"
someplace as has been previously discussed.
