[Elecraft] K3 Firmware upload elapsed time

[Dick Dievendorff]

About five to eight minutes is normal. You may have many retries, indicating a less than ideal RS-232 connection. Use the view menu, verbose settings for explicit indications of each retry. Check that your cable hold down screws are snug. Try the troubleshooting steps in K3 Utility Help for USB to serial adapters if that is what you are using.  If the RS232 cabling path is complex (many connectors) try to simplify it.

Firmware load is done  at 38400 bps.
