[Elecraft] Important K3 News

[Dick Dievendorff]

You don't have to be connected to the internet at the time you update the
radio.  There's a procedure described in the K3 Utility's Help (see "Manual
File Transfer") that describes using an internet browser or File Transfer
Protocol (FTP) client to copy firmware files from Elecraft's server onto
some removable device such as USB flash drive or a floppy diskette (or burn
your own CD). You then carry that device to the K3 and perform the firmware
update there.  

Elecraft will mail you a CD for a fee, but the "normal" distribution method
is by making firmware available at an FTP server.  

The K3 Utility can act as an FTP client to copy files from Elecraft to the
PC.  Its second function is to send firmware from files from the PC to the
K3.  The first FTP part can be performed by your favorite web browser.  The
second step doesn't require internet connectivity.

Sorry if this has already been asked, am I right to assume that K3 firmware 
updates are or will be available by means other than downloading via the 
Internet e.g. by purchasing updated ROM chip(s) from time to time? Would 
like to have a K3 for use at another QTH on the Continent where there is no 
Internet connection (by choice).
