[Elecraft] New KX3 firmware available that restores original AF gain level

[Wayne Burdick]

Hi all,

Rev. 2.70 KX3 firmware unintentionally reduced the max AF gain setting for both speaker and headphones. (We improved the granularity of the AF GAIN control at the low end but didn’t get around to scaling the high end back up to the original level.)

If you were affected by this and would like to try the field test release (rev. 2.76), please email me directly. 

This rev also includes the new “ATU DATA” menu entry, which gives you two full sets of per-band ATU data for use when running the KX3 “barefoot” (without the KXPA100/KXAT100). Typically one set would be used at home, the other in the field. If you do a lot of outings, this can save you the trouble of re-matching all of your antennas when you get home. Another use for this is with two different antennas for a given band.

73,
