I loaded it here, and had an initial fail during the first FW load 
(started ok), requiring re-power (with battery remove) and forced MCU-LD 
load.

I was connecting serial via a PX3, and reconnected direct to KX3 on 
forced load, all ok. I also rebooted W10 PC prior. Is FW load usually ok 
when using KXPA100 or PX3 as primary CAT ? I have two KX3 setups.



>> KX3 version 2.95 firmware is now available. It supports the "SW;" remote control command (read SWR value during transmit).
>>
>> One reason we added support for this command is that Joe, VE3VXO, has built a hardware module that polls the rig (using the SW; command) and outputs a "recognizable audio pattern proportional to the current VSWR." Feel free to contact Joe if you have questions about this. At least one blind KX3 operator is already using one.
