[Elecraft] Memory sticks

[Doug Faunt N6TQS +1-510-655-8604]

That's one way.
It's probably easier for most people to do it with Windows Explorer.
My Computer>C:>Documents And Settings>{user name}>Application Data>Elecraft>K3 Firmware
...If you remember where Windows keeps such things.

And it'd be a useful reminder to have a pointer to
ftp://ftp.elecraft.com/K3/firmware/
on the Elecraft web site, if you're at a location where you can't
install the K3 downloader, but can plug in a USB drive or write a
CDROM.

Having this information in the help file of a program you need to
install isn't keeping it a secret, but it's also not making it
available in all situations where it might be needed, either.

   It's described in the K3 Utility Help file, look for "Manual File Transfer".

   You can access the firmware files using your web
   browser.

   ftp://ftp.elecraft.com/K3/firmware/
