[Elecraft] K3 -Firmware Downloader 1.1.3.6

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Hi John,

Your K3 isn;t damaged. :-)

The 1.28 loader should be fine. If you are having CPU lockup problems, 
that may be due to a comm driver version issue if you are using a USB to 
Serial adapter like the KUSB. If you have the KUSB, you absolutely need 
to be using the latest drivers. They are noted in the install notes for 
the KUSB and on our K3 software page. They can be found at:

It found the files OK, and seemingly updated the MCU with 1.75.  But then it locked up the computer while downloading the DSP with 1.57.  I had to do a hardware reset.
