[Elecraft] New K4 beta software available (Release 18): Transverter bands, macro editor, etc.

[Wayne Burdick]

The latest beta release includes many important improvements, including a complete implementation of the K4's transverter band feature. The macro editor (for customizing switch functions) has also been updated. 

Those who will be using transverters with the K4 for this weekend's VHF/UHF contest should definitely load the beta firmware. Let me know if you have any specific questions about transverter setup or operation.

To load the beta release:

1. Tap <Fn>, then hold <UPDATE>

2. Use the software selection pull-down to select Beta Release. Then tap <Check for Updates>. You can optionally tap <Release Notes> prior to doing the install.

3. Tap <Install>. When finished, tap <Exit>.
