[Elecraft] K3 APF Problem

[Jim Harris]

My thanks to Eric and all who pointed out the Advanced Mode in the View menu.  I use the utility infrequent so I was unaware of that feature.  Live and learn, and I say that in a positive way.

I think this thread can now be put to bed.

Take pride in the USA. 73

If you enable advanced mode in the utility preferences, you can chose to only load specific files.

Be careful with this, as DSP, CPU, FPF files etc from a release must all match the release set.  That's why we recommend clicking on the 'load all files' button.

There is a feature to upload only new revisions but nothing to reload only a single firmware.  Second, zip a complete set of compatible firmware files into one file, unzip it in the utility and load from those files only.  This could eliminate the problem I had that took several emails and three days to correct.  Of course, individual files could be left on the server for those desiring to download individual files.
