[Elecraft] K3 Firmware updating

[Larry - K2GN]

Well, thanks for all the replies to my message below.

The result is very mixed and discouraging. It appears that I'm in a dilemma.

I either stay at the level I'm at in the K3, get rid of the the K3 or the
microKEYER2R+ or

Run the risk  of the firmware update not working.

I don't really want to get rid of anything, nor do I want to have a screw up
on the Firmware upgrades.

I got to figure out what to do.

Again, thanks for your input.

Is there a safe way to update a K3 through the microHAM router?

I don't like moving the cables for every update.

Something is going to wear out or break.

Difficult to do it with my 1 good hand .

Can I put a "Y" adaptor on the RS232 and run a USB to my laptop, and leave
the microHAM powered off?

Laptop isn't connected to the radios at all.

I just need an easier way to stay up to date.

Same with using the K3 EZ and K3 Util programs.

 

Any ideas are  greatly appreciated.
