[Elecraft] Need volunteers to try an even better version of KAT500 firmware (rev. 1.63) -- more accurate initial tunes

[Wayne Burdick]

Hi all,

We just posted a new beta-test release of KAT500 firmware (rev 1.63) that does a better job on initial tunes than the previous release (1.58). We'd really like to get this firmware into production quickly, but to do that we'll need some testing help.

If you can spare a few minutes, please do the following:
 
1)  Save your current configuration so that you can return to it if necessary

2)  Install KAT500 rev. 1.63 (follow instructions for beta releases)

3)  Erase memories on at least one band where the tuner has to work to find solutions (that’s 160 through 40 meters for most of us)

4)  Do some full-search tunes. 

The KAT500 should find very good tuning solutions (within its specified impedance-matching limits, of course). Please send me your results.

Thanks--

Wayne
