[Elecraft] [KX3] KX3 Beta firmware rev. 1.44: Easier NR adjustment; DVR message play dropout fixed

[Ron Johnson]

Just loaded 1.44/1.16 and tested in cw mode (don't use ssb) and all is working well. The cwt/spot function is perfect again even at 50 Hz bandwidth and the NR is very good with its one knob adjustment. I find a NR setting of 7 to be just about right.
Thanks Wayne and the team.

KX3 beta firmware rev 1.44 (with DSP rev 1.16) is now available. See release notes below.

You'll need the KX3 Utility application to download and install firmware. For full instructions on loading beta releases, refer to our KX3 software page:

MCU 1.44 / DSP 1.16, 4-24-2013

* NOISE REDUCTION (NR) EASILY ADJUSTABLE: The overall level of noise reduction can now be set using the knob above the NR switch (AF/RF-SQL). When NR is turned on, the present setting will be displayed on VFO B for about 2 seconds. To select a new setting, rotate the knob before the display times out. The setting is independent for CW and voice modes. Note: The range of this parameter is 0-10, corresponding to the “mix” or “M” parameter of the RX NR menu entry. See below.

* RX NR MENU ENTRY CHANGES: The RX NR menu entry can be used to adjust all three NR parameters (B=beta, D=decay, M=wet/dry mix). The M parameter now has a range of 0-10, matching the range available when the knob above the NR switch is used (see above). As before, all parameters can be adjusted separately for CW and voice modes. In most cases the factory default settings can be used for beta and decay, and the mix adjusted for the desired overall amount of NR using the knob (without using the menu). You can also now reset all NR parameters to factory defaults by holding CLR.

* DVR PLAY/REPEAT FIX: DVR play no longer drops messages.
