[Elecraft] PX3 Text Decode is ready for testing

[Wayne Burdick]

If you have a PX3 and KX3 and would like to try the PX3's new text display feature, please email me directly.

Here's how it works: 

- The PX3's LABEL switch (hold of MENU) now has three settings: Normal (no labels or text), FN labels, or text decode. 

- When text decode is selected, two lines of scrolling text can be shown at the bottom of the screen. Text decode must be turned on at the KX3 and properly adjusted (applies to CW, FSK-D, PSK-D modes). 

- Decoded text is displayed in white. When you transmit, via either the KX3's stored message memories or a keyer paddle, your transmitted text is displayed in green. Total number of characters per line is either 42 (large font) or 65 (small font).

We plan to add a USB keyboard interface later this year.
