There may be some reason at some point in the future
where a previous load of the firmware is desirable,
but I do think it should be noted that the coders at
Elecraft mightfind this to be against their best
intent and efforts. 

Some other brands have had - shall we say - an
impossible time of always making the last update the
best update, in fact major problems have been added to
fully functional firmware after revisions and even
complete rewrites. Can you imagine going back to
version 1.x because it works better than version 2.x?

The idea with K3, which I'll accept until I experience
otherwise, is that the last release (most current)
will be the user's choice and should be loaded
reasonably quickly after it's available. 

To me, this lofty goal is achievable with K3, and less
likely with most of the other brands because they have
software by committee, where as Wayne and Lyle can
keep control at Elecraft. As a programmer I can
say - still not EASY - but manageable. ;-)

Elecraft, but it's  simple and works.I'm not aware of
