Out of curiosity I looked at some of the other tabs on the K3 utility 
like configuration & calibration. All the buttons there were greyed 
out. I went back to the Ports tab & deselected port 3 as mentioned 
below & told it to select port 6 and then it recognized the existing 
version & said 4800 bps instead of 38400 bps

I again tried to have the utility update the new firmware and it did 
so as expected.

Interesting but it's worth remembering if someone encounters this 
issue themselves.

Cheers,
