In short — summary by updatemystuff.com
Fixed standby transitions with transmitters that don't output BAND control signals.
- BAND input signals no longer trigger standby transitions if unchanged from startup
Written from Elecraft's release notes, which are printed in full below.

What's in this update
- The BAND input signals will cause an OPER->STBY transition when the K3 outputs all 1s on these lines. Now if these inputs have never changed from all 1s from startup we will not perform the transition. This corrects operation with the KX3 or other transmitters that do not output these signals.
