My K3 developed a problem and is in Aptos now being repaired. The Mac/Linux versions will be forthcoming once I get the radio back and once I determine the software is stable and ready for release. I would suggest using/borrowing a Windows PC if you can't wait to run the RF Gain calibration.

it was expensive.
