[Elecraft] New K3/K3S Beta Firmware, rev. 5.26: Support for K3S and upgraded modules

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

For those thinking of hanging back and living with your K3's, there is a
benefit to the Elecraft community by doing the firmware beta's even if you
don't see anything in it for yourself in a given release.

Elecraft is committed to backward compatibility. By beta testing all the
F/W releases, you help insure backward compatibility. You help detect that
a change for a K3S does not break a K3. When you get right down to it,
particularly if you make any hardware improvements in your K3, most of the
firmware is shared.

"What's in it for me" is a legal response, it's allowed, your choice. But
is it the long term best response, the overall best response, the community
best response?

Good Luck all, and 73,     Guy K2AV
