[Elecraft] Problem Firmware and K3

[George Danner]

I  have done almost every update to my Elecraft equipment; usually within a couple of days after the beta release. I have never had a pronlem with the update nor ever rolled back!
I use a generic Prolific USB serial interface through my P3 (except early in the P3's life).
I have never had an issue updating SN#2412!
