KX3 Beta Firmware Revision
MCU 2.27 / DSP 1.30, 11-10-2014
* RX I/Q PORT TURNED ON AUTOMATICALLY WITH PX3 ATTACHED: The KX3 now turns on the RX I/Q output whenever it detects an attached PX3. This eliminates the problem of image signals in the PX3 display due to RX I/Q being off.
* IMPROVED FIRMWARE LOADING: Now handling case where new MCU firmware is incompatible with old DSP firmware in the middle of a full firmware load sequence. An error message may still appear in this case, but load timing will not be affected, allowing the new DSP firmware to be loaded correctly.
MISE À JOUR. Le fw contient également les améliorations suivantes:
* PX3 NOW DISPLAYS VFO B PASSBAND CORRECTLY: The PX3 was showing the wrong VFO B filter bandwidth or passband location when using DATA modes or DUAL RX (dual watch).
* DUAL RX DOES NOT FORCE OFS/B KNOB TO BE USED AS VFO B: The operator’s OFS/B knob assignment is no longer lost when DUAL RX is in effect.
* FAST-PLAY DISPLAY ERROR FIXED: With fast-play enabled (1-touch message play using BAND+/- and FREQ ENT.), a band change originating from a PC application no longer flashes “END” on VFO B.
* CW SPEED DISPLAY TIME INCREASED WHEN TEXT DECODE IS ON: In CW mode, speed is now displayed for 1.0 sec. In FSK-D and PSK-D modes, it's .5 sec. The time is shorter for DATA modes because character transmission rates are usually faster, and the operator might miss important text due to the speed display.
* PA BYPASS METERING FIXED: If the KXPA100 goes to bypass because of an error condition, the KX3 drops to 5 W. The RF meter is now correctly set to low range.
* TEXT DECODE LOCKOUT FIX: Adjustment of NR, NB, NTCH, etc. no longer causes loss of CW/DATA text decode on the VFO B display.
* HOST COMMANDS “UP”, “DN”, and “DT”: These are now working with the PX3.
* SUPPORT FOR PX3 TEXT DISPLAY: To enable text decode on the PX3, hold LABELS switch to switch to text-decode mode (requires PX3 rev. 1.12 or later). Text decode must also be enabled at the KX3.
