[Elecraft] Memory sticks

[G3SJJ]

I have to say I am totally puzzled by this thread. You buy the K3 in 
full knowledge that new versions of firmware will be available from time 
to time and how they are accessed. You see the connectors in the rear 
panel so you understand what is required. Fullstop/Period. No other 
dicsussion required..

End.
