What's in this update
MCU 5.60 / DSP 2.88 / FPF 1.26
- K-POD AND MACRO BUG FIX: Fixed bug that was causing occasional loss of macro commands, activated either with a K3 front-panel switch or the K-Pod.
- NEW CONTROL COMMAND (DE): The DE remote-control command inserts a command processing delay of about 10 to 2550 ms. This is useful in switch or K-pod macros, where a delay may be desired to allow the radio to complete a previous operation (such as band change or CW message send) before the next command is processed. The format of the command is DEnnn; where <nnn> can be 001-255. This value represents the delay in 10 ms increments. Note: A value of 001 may result in a delay shorter than 10 ms, while 002 is guaranteed to provide a delay between 10 and 20 ms, etc.
