[Elecraft] Question about K3 utility for the Mac

[David Fleming]

Hi Dale,

No there hasn't been any new updates since 1.1.4.1.
It's odd that 1.1.4.1 would report that you need to
install a new version unless you had the utility
pointing to a firmware folder containing an older
version of K3UtilityVersionInfo.txt. Make sure you
have the most current firmware files downloaded from
the Elecraft server in your firmware folder. This is
the first time I've heard of a kernel panic (or hard
crash). I'm running 10.5.3 without problems. If it
should happen again, try to recall the steps you took
to cause the crash to occur and let me know.

Thanks,

David, W4SMT
