[Elecraft] Problem Firmware and K3

Hi Bill,

I think there's over 7000 K3s out there. There's really only a handful of
folks writing in about firmware load problems but then there are dozens of
replies and meanderings from that one posting. This makes the situation look
worse than it is.

Good sense is required as with everything else. The need for a EEINIT is
probably never required if the recovery steps followed in the K3 Utility
Help File are followed. Cancellation of downloads mid-process always causes
difficulties. Using laptops on battery only has been stated as problematic.
Not having a configuration backup has been stressed. So with this
information available there should be no reason to shy away from future
downloads.

73,
Mike K2MK
