[Elecraft] Latest MCU and DSP

[Ray Sills]

Hi Chuck:

You should download the latest version of the KX3 utility (for your  
computer's OS)... and then when you connect the rig's USB or RS-232  
cable and launch the utility, you can then retrieve the latest  
production release of firmware for the KX3.   However, if you have not  
yet done so, you should make a copy of your -particular- rig's  
settings.  Elecraft recommends doing that the very first time you  
launch the utility.  I presume you have already done that with your KX3.

Don't forget that there a several new features that must be enabled  
via the rig's menu, and that you need to power cycle the rig after  
updates, to have the new firmware take effect.

I'm a QRP guy, so I don't have any hints regarding using an external  
amp.  :)   I'm sure others will respond.
