[Elecraft] KPA1500 BETA FW 2.66

[Hisashi T Fujinaka]

Thanks Dick. Missed you at Seapac last year.

For some reason I can never get firmware notes emails when they come
out. I've never figured out where they disappear, so I'm working with
incomplete information.

>>> Eric, after seeing your post I upgraded to 2.66 after using 2.62 for several QSOs this morning on CW.  Immediately I had problems with erratic SWR and failures.  I went to STBY and there were no problems.  I changed to several different bands and antennas and the same thing happened repeatedly.  No problem with 100w in STBY but constant failures in OPER.  After trying over and over again I went back to v. 2.62 and all the problems disappeared.  After another few QSOs and no problems, my only conclusion can be that 2.66 is flawed.  73, Jim W6YA
