[Elecraft] New K3 firmware with minor bug fixes (rev. 5.56) - looking for testers

[Jim - N4ST]

Alas, I downloaded the K3S Beta 5.65B software and installed it, but it did
NOT fix the muting problem for me when operating split mode with WJST-X.
I was using WSJT-X 1.7 dev 7005.
I dropped back to the public release WSJT-X 1.6 and that did not work
either.
Using HRD 6.3.0.585

Hi all,

We're looking for volunteers to test the latest K3 field-test firmware.
Please review the recent release notes below.

If you'd like to do testing because you'll be affected by these changes, or
if you're just interested in helping us qualify the firmware for beta
release, please contact me directly.

* * *

K3 MCU 5.56 / DSP 2.88 / FPF 1.26, 10-26-2016

* SCANNING WORKS WITH FREQUENCIES BELOW 1.0 MHz. Previously, scanning would
stall in this case.

* REDUCED K-POD MACRO FLASH TIME:  If text decode is enabled, then the
length of time that K-Pod macro names are flashed is greatly reduced. This
reduces the obstruction of text shown on VFO B.

* DT, FR, and FT HOST COMMANDS DISALLOWED IN TX MODE: Previously, these
commands (data submode, split off, and split on) could be sent to the K3
during transmit from software applications. This could sometimes cause side
effects such as muting of transmit audio in DATA modes.

K3 MCU 5.55 / DSP 2.88 / FPF 1.26, 10-20-2016

* KPOD WORKS IN REMOTE-RIG TERMINAL MODE:  The K-Pod will now function
correctly with a K3 or K3/0-mini being used as a remote-rig terminal. Basic
functions of the K-Pod can be used, including switch tap / hold and VFO
A/B/offset control. LEDs and AUX outputs of the terminal K-Pod are not yet
supported. Note:  At present, when switches on the terminal K-Pod are used,
they will execute macros stored at the remote K3. This will be apparent when
macro names are flashed on VFO B.
