[Elecraft] New K3 beta firmware release, rev. 5.01: Much-improved audio during CW keying

[Graham g3tct]

Hi Gary
I hear it as you do.

The amplitude of the transient depends on the received noise level. This 
can be demonstrated with the rf gain control, but setting the gain 
control low and then increasing the received noise level with eg a 
preamp brings the transient back, so it's the actual noise level, not 
the rf gain setting.

The transient we're hearing is also there on semi break in, it's not 
restricted to qsk.  But it is a huge improvement.
