[Elecraft] New KX3 Beta Firmware, rev. 2.70: Various improvements

[Walter Underwood]

Amen to that whole list. Well, HF squelch would be awesome, but that is complicated.

Longer auto-off would be lovely. My KX3 kept turning itself off while I was listening to Radio Havana Cuba, so I changed it to INFINITE. Last night, my lovely wife, the light of my life, was annoyed by the display being on in our bedroom while the batteries were charging, so she turned off the large, linear power supply. The KX3 happily switched to running off batteries and was at BAT MIN by morning, with the light still on. So that didn’t work out well for anyone, including the Eneloops.

60 minutes would be great for me, so I recommend 120. Or four hours, whatever.
