[Elecraft] [K3] Minor irritation with K3 Firmware Loader, Version 1.0.11.21

[Ed Muns]

Go to the View menu and select Advanced.  That will enable the checkboxes.
Copy the older version firmware file you want to load into another folder
and point the loader there.  Then use the checkbox to select and load it.
