[Elecraft] K3 Firmware Update for Mac OSX won't talk to K3 --?

[David Fleming]

Hi Windy,

It sounds like you're trying to communicate with a
modem or a bluetooth device.  The KUSB will appear as
"usbserial" in the Port menu. Be sure you are
selecting  "usbserial" as your port.

The Filter Configuration is still under development
and not yet functional in the Mac and Linux versions.
