"Geez, couldn't have just posted the link?"

Well that's not any better because Elecraft seems to have used a page structure that does not change the URL.  Navigate to the page of interest and copy the URL but that URL takes you to the parent page.  Not a very clever design.

The update details are:

02.38 12/2/2019

  *   Bug fix: fan speed was reduced too quickly during cool-down
  *   Switch to STBY if BAND CHANGE->STBY is enabled and the frequency (from XCVR or TX count) is below the amp's frequency range
  *   Reduce reflected power fault events when band or ATU settings change
  *   Reduce turn-off delay when XCVR KEY is used
  *   Wait longer after band change to inform K3 that KPA1500 has switched to STBY when BANDCHANGE->STBY is YES
  *   Skip ATU HiSWR retune if the current bin contains only the ATU setting that matches the ATU relays
  *   Added ^DA command to display current ATU frequency, relay settings, and bypass SWR. Get with ^DA; response is like
^DA10128 AN1 Side TX 280 nH (L05) 571 pF (C36) SWR Bypass 4.0;
  *   Add Tech Mode FAN SPEED DWELL menu item and ^DW command to set the time fans stay at a given speed after crossing a cool-down temperature threshold.
  *   Add Tech Mode BOOT BLOCK VERSION menu item and ^BV command to display the boot block firmware version.. ^BV; response is like ^BV01.06;"
