[Elecraft] KX2 latest beta FW? (and spkr issue)

[John Hiatt]

Actually, the latest beta is 2.79, it just has not been made public yet. From a post by Wayne on the 9th:


KX2 firmware rev. 2.79 has several minor improvements, including:

- CW sidetone volume can be set much lower

- Auto-power-off timer range is now 5 to 100 minutes (was 3-20 minutes)

- Filter bandwidth settings modified to prevent degradation of opposite sideband suppression

All of these changes will also be made to the KX3’s firmware next week.

If you have a KX2 and would be interested in testing the new release, please email me directly.

I haven't seen much (if any) discussion about the latest KX2 beta
firmware (MCU 2.77 / DSP 1.50, May 26, 2017).

I generally don't try beta firmware unless I have a surplus device to
try it on (or unless I really don't care if device I'm trying on works).

Who else, outside of Elecraft employees, is running it? Have you noticed
any stability issues?
