[Elecraft] [K3] Firmware load issue?

[Jeff Cochrane - VK4BOF]

Hi everyone,
I dont know if this is indicative of an issue with the radio or not but as I was just uploading firmware 4.05 into my K3 (#4257) it needed to retry the upload to the FPF 49 times in total into various memory segments.
No other area's reported failures or issues.
It has never done this before on any firmware uploads.
I have included the relevant text from the utilities activity log below:

One has to wonder if there maybe an issue with the memory in the radio's firmware?
Comments?
