[Elecraft] Firmware updates

[Dick Dievendorff]

That's not my experience. Just yesterday I unzipped a the current beta
version into a folder named "K3FW2R63" that was a subfolder of "My
Documents".   I used the K3 Utility Firmware page "Browse" button to
navigate to that folder and I loaded the K3 directly from that folder.

 

To download non-beta firmware into a folder of your choice, first create a
folder (perhaps using the Windows Explorer).  Then navigate to that folder
with the K3 Utility's Firmware Page "browse" function or type in the
location of the folder.   Check the "copy files from Elecraft" check box and
click "Check Versions Now". The K3 Utility should copy all the files into
that folder, whether it's the default folder or not.

 

The K3 Utility doesn't create  a folder for you. If you type in the name of
a folder that doesn't exist, you'll get file write errors during the "copy
files" phase.

I have downloaded many firmware files from Elecraft and found that
downloading the beta files can be downloaded to any folder you desire using
Windows Internet explorer. The non-beta firmware can only be downloaded in
to the defult folder of the Elecraft installer program then later moved into
the desired folder. You don't use the FTP site for non-beta firmware.

 

Installing both beta and non-beta firmware from my own folder is successful.
