[Elecraft] K3 - new release of HRD

[Rick Ruhl]

Tim, this is how misinformation is spread.  We have to fix issues one at a
time and sometimes those fixes will cause other issues.. the nature of
programming.  But to say we are in no hurry is a total falsehood.  Erik,
Mike, and I are working 12-16 hours a day on the product and good code, like
fine wine, takes time. 


As for LPBridge....

1. Im not very fond of port splitter programs.  One DCE to one DTE device is
the RS-232 standard

2. F6DEX and N8LP need to modify LP Bridge to support Unicode strings.  They
are still MCSB and Microsoft is totally going to Unincode

Asking us to make 6.2 work with LpBridge is like asking Microsoft to fix
Windows for something that they broke in 8.X with HRD. (and they did).  When
we contacted Microsoft, they said we had to modify our code to match Windows
8.

So the LpBridge guys need a Unicode version to work with HRD 6.

And there is no they, there is US!  Rick, Mike, Tim, Erik, Erin, Jon, V,
Gordy, etc etc

As for your question in ticket number 859567, all support for 6.2 is being
done in the forum and I see no posts in there..  I know there was one on the
yahoo group, but that is not official HRD support.

So the answer is, look at some of my posts in this thread from earlier and
you'll see the fixes...

Willi was a paid user of HRD. 6.2 is nothing but bugs. They call it a public
release. They have now released the next Beta release which is supposed to
fix some of the K3 problems. When I asked what they fixed I received
absolutely no response. The 6.2 release is not compatible with LP-Bridge
whereas previous versions were. I stopped upgrading at that point. A lot on
their bug list has been there for some time and they seem in no hurry to fix
anything.

It appears that a public beta has been released for paid users.  If you want
to know what is in it - beyond the short list on the web site - I suggest
you become a paid user to gain access to the software:
