[Elecraft] K3 - Firmware Download Issue

[Terry Schieler]

Mission accomplished, Dick!  As usual your instructions were right on. Next
time I'll remember to check for a new version P3 manual before downloading
anything new.  ;o)  Many thanks!

Im away from home so I'll be brief

Remove the P3 back panel power plug
Disconnect K3 power supply
Reboot PC
Connect K3 power. Do not connect P3 power.
Press K3 power button. K3 should come in without backlight LCD and MCU LD in
dark letters.
Start K3 Utility
Navigate to Port tab
Press test communications.
You should see warning popup with boot loader found
Navigate to firmware tab
Browse to folder containing all firmware files. 

Send all firmware

Then reconnect P3 power

These steps are in latest rev of P3 Owners manual

I'll check email again in a couple of hours
