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

[G]

Wayne,

That is awesome! Another reason I went with the KX3, upgradable
firmware. While most rigs can upgrade their firmware no one is going
outside the norm.

Now just time to decide if I should sell the TS-2000 LE to get the
KXPA100 :)

Thanks for the description. I look forward to getting it loaded up.

>> * FAST MESSAGE PLAY: A long-hold of MSG (~3 sec) puts the KX3 into FAST PLAY mode. In this mode, the BAND+, BAND-, and FREQ_ENT switches can be used to play/repeat messages 1, 2, and 3 immediately, without the need to first tap MSG. To turn off fast play, hold MSG for ~3 seconds again, or turn the KX3 off and back on. Notes: (1) In voice modes (using the built-in DVR), only messages 1 and 2 are available, corresponding to BAND+ and BAND- in fast-play. (2) At present, message chaining is only available in CW modes (with both normal and fast-play).
