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

[Eugene Balinski]

All,

   Quick question regarding SW updates for the KX3.   I
will be starting the construction of mine in a few weeks
(already have it in the box in the shack).

  When I update the SW do I have to download each and every
update in order, or can I just upload the latest revision
and get all of the previous updates ?

Thanks es 73,

    Gene K1NR
