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

[E T]

BTW, the KX2 with 2.77 behaves exactly the same way when scrolling past the N/A with the KXPA100 enabled.

Hi Wayne,

There is one major quirk with the new ATU.DATA menu item on the KX3.  When using the KXPA100 the menu item shows up with the label N/A and value "--".  And then when you scroll up or down to the next menu item it takes up to a second to show the correct label.  Even when you are scrolling fast through the items and go past that one the N/A appears and persists as you scroll.  All the other transitions are immediate except this one.  Shouldn't the label still show as ATU.DATA and have the value show "--" or "N/A"?  E.g. like 2M/4M shows as "not inSt".

I'm going to update my KX2 to the beta that also has this and see if it also shows the same quirk.

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.
