[Elecraft] K3 Firmware Download Warning [status report]

[Wayne Burdick]

We recently had some K3 firmware download issues. We found that these  
have nothing to do with new K3 firmware, so you can safely load new  
revisions at any time.

What happened in most cases was that the P3 interfered with the K3  
firmware load. This will be corrected. For now, please turn your P3  
completely off when loading new K3 firmware. (If you have the P3  
strapped to turn on with the K3, just temporarily unplug its power.)  
Sorry for the temporary inconvenience.

Other download issues had to do with specific combinations of USB-to- 
RS232 adapters, device drivers, and in some cases the Mac version of  
K3 Utility. We're working on that.

Please contact customer support if you're having any sort of firmware  
download problem.

73,
