[Elecraft] Difficulty with K3 Utility RS232 Interface

[Bill K9YEQ]

I will ditto Don's comment.  I regularly test the firmware and have had no
issues. I use the latest firmware files and I have rolled back once only to
turn around and load the updated firmware beta again.  Every release goes
through thorough testing and I have had no issues other than suggestions.
There may some feature bugs but these were always add-ons or updates to
configurations that needed improvement.

Tony,

While it may appear to be so on the surface, the K3 Utility and the 
...... ask the others in the Field Test 
or Development Teams and they should also verify that.  As a Field Test 
member, I have loaded new and updated firmware 5 to 10 times more 
frequently than other users, and I have NEVER found a change in my 
configuration data after an upgrade, nor have I had a problem loading 
new firmware.  I do have a few saved configuration files, but have never 
felt the need to do a restore - the K3 firmware is solid for all 
versions I have dealt with since I received my K3 in early January 
2008.  A configuration save is not required prior to doing an upgrade, 
although some may choose to do it.
