[Elecraft] KX3 "FAST-PLAY" field-test firmware now available (rev. 2.11)

[G]

Is there any documentation? All I could find was the firmware, and since
I am anxiously awaiting the delivery of my KX3 it would give me
something to do to pass the time.

I made 118 QRP battery contacts using the Fast-Play feature and had no troubles with the download or the firmware. I was able to leave most of the cables between my computer and the KX3 disconnected. I did use the KX3 to USB interface so the N3FJP software could log my frequency for each contact. I found by using FAST-PLAY on the KX3 that I did not have to touch the mouse as N3FJP just kept doing what I wanted and the KX3 was handy beside the computer. A touch of 2 buttons completed most contacts. The built in paddle was used about twice during the entire contest. Once again thanks Wayne as I considered this a wonderful improvement to the firmware.
