[Elecraft] Gremlins in the K3 firmware Downloads

[NS5U/1 Jim Benson]

Installing the latest beta just gave me similar results of the Gremlins. 
Mostly failure to load and PLL error codes.  I have had no problems in the
past and so I reverted to an earlier version.

Then I realized I was doing a lot of stuff in the background while the
firmware was loading.  Yep when I closed everything else down the newest
version jumped right up and worked.  I run the Elecraft USB/serial cable on
a Macbook.  It works equally as well under Mac OS X as it does under
WinXP..........but only when I shut down everything else first.  Didn't
notice this before because I think the excitement of playing with the cable
and firmware revision was absorbing enough I didn't have anything else
running.   

The process has been so stable and simple it has become routine and somewhat
boring so I have taken to playing solitaire or surfing while it is running.
Obviously my machine stumbles with the load and the comport transfer
suffers.

YMMV
