[Elecraft] K3 Crashed

[Rick Prather]

From the Owner's Manual:

Forcing a Firmware Download
If you accidentally load an old or incompatible firmware version and find the K3 unresponsive, do the following: (1) unplug the K3 from the power supply and wait 5 seconds; (2) plug the power supply back in; (3) hold the K3’s	switch in; after about 10 seconds, you’ll see the TX LED flash (you’ll also see MCU LD on the LCD); (4) load the correct firmware version.

Worked for me..
