I suspect that the reason that many people who have problems with the 
firmware revision is that they start twiddling with their K3 before the 
upload is completed.  The MCU firmware uploads first, followed by DSP1 
(& DSP2 if KRX3 fitted) and then the Front Panel firmware. During the 
upload the K3 can burst into life at various stages.  When it does, I 
people may be tempted to start using their K3.  The rule is to WAIT 
until READY shows on the K3 Utility.
