[Elecraft] New Firmware MCU 3.79

[Don Wilhelm]

Elliot,

It sounds like you are attempting to use the procedure for downloading 
beta releases.
The .zip file was most likely removed when it was no longer considered a 
beta version.  The release versions have always been downloaded by K3 
Utility into the folder (you can choose that folder - make a new one and 
point K3 Utility to it). The prior release version if present in that 
target folder will be discarded.

I just tried it - Make a new folder for the MCU3r79 firmware somewhere 
on your computer, then open K3 Utility and click the Browse button and 
navigate to your new folder - then click OK.  Back on the K3 Utility 
window, check the "Copy New Firmware from Elecraft into Local Folder" 
and then click the "Check New Versions Now" -  the firmware will be 
downloaded.
If you want to archive each release, you will have to create a different 
folder for that release - K3 Utility does not archive releases.
The beta versions are released as a .zip file that you must download, 
unzip into a folder and then point K3 Utility to that folder.

73,
Don W3FPR
