[Elecraft] P3 Beta firmware available- Data terminal mode

[Paul Saffren N6HZ]

Since this is BETA firmware it may have some bugs and features yet to be
implemented.  Also note that using BETA firmware may alter your saved
settings within the P3/SVGA.  Use at your own risk, but please forward any
comments, requests or bugs to me. 

Here's how to download and install the firmware on your P3/SVGA: 

1) Follow this link and download the .zip file to your computer:
ftp://ftp.elecraft.com/P3/firmware/beta/SVGA_0105BETA.zip
2) extract all the files and place them in a temporary folder.  In the
temporary folder you should have several files, make sure p3m0117.hex and
p3s0105.hex exist.
3) start P3 utility and verify that the version of the P3 utility is
1.12.4.26 , you will need this version in order to download ALL the firmware
to the P3 & SVGA boards.   If you don't have this version, it can be
downloaded at:
http://www.elecraft.com/software/P3/P3_Utility_Setup_1_12_4_26.exe
4) Make sure the P3 is connected to your computer over the serial port on
the back.
5) Start the P3 utility and click on the firmware tab.
6) Click on the BROWSE button and navigate to the temporary folder you
extracted all the files to.  Click OK.
7) Then click on SEND ALL FIRMWARE TO P3.
8) All firmware will now download to the P3/SVGA board.

Once the firmware has downloaded you press the MENU button on the P3 and
verify that the firmware version is 1.17,.

After that you should be able to access the menu selections on the P3.  I
also would strongly suggest reading the enclosed Quick Start Guide pdf file
(in the .zip file package)

73, 

Paul
