[Elecraft] K3 Production Firmware Release (3.63)

[Dick Dievendorff]

That's the disconnect.

The K3 Utility does create the "default" folder to receive firmware.  You
get to that folder by pressing the "Default" button.

The expectation was that most of the time people would be using that folder.
There's also a capability to navigate to other existing folders.  However
the K3 Utility doesn't create any folders except the default firmware and
configuration folders.

It's a useful suggestion for the K3 Utility to have the ability to create a
folder if one is named and doesn't exist.  In a subsequent K3 Utility
version I'll add the ability to create a folder if the one you name isn't
found.

No, it doesn't exist. I expected the utility to create it. I just 
changed the path in the 'Local folder' box. I don't know what error 
number 3 is, but I interpret the messages as meaning the utility 
couldn't find the files on the server. But then I never went to 
interpreter school.....

When it did work, it was after I manually created the folder. Can you 
verify that the folder must be created first?
