PX3 Beta Firmware Installation and Release Notes |
PX3 Beta Firmware Release NotesNone Right Now! |
Beta Test Firmware Installation ProceduresNOTE: Beta test firmware may have new issues that we haven't caught during field testing. Please report them to support@elecraft.com. A little more detailWe make it a little harder to load Beta firmware mainly because we want you to be sure you want to do this. Beta firmware means that, while the PX3 engineering team has fully tested the firmware, it has not yet been deemed ready for Production status. You can always return to the last firmware you have downloaded by following the steps in the PX3 Utility’s Help section. To load Beta Firmware, follow the steps below:1. Create a new folder for the beta firmware on your Desktop or some other easily found location. Use the a different folder than the default folder found in the Firmware tab of the Utility. In this way, you can revert to the last Production firmware easily. If you do not see the correct version of the zip file, press the RELOAD/REFRESH button on our browser to update your browser cache.3. Right-click on the .zip file containing the beta firmware (e.g. k3fwXrYZ.zip for revision MCU X.YZ and all associated files). Save the file to your beta folder you just created. 4. Unzip the files into the beta folder. |
