[Elecraft] KY Command

[Wayne Burdick]

Also note that a new field-test version of K3/K3S firmware is presently in test (rev. 5.46) that corrects a long-standing problem with the "RX;" command. This command is often used at the end of "KY<text>;" packets, or just for general use in returning the radio to receive mode. "RX;" now correctly terminates transmit in all cases, even when used in combination with PTT.

Anyone who uses N1MM (old or new versions) and would like to try the new firmware should contact me directly.
