[Dick Dievendorff]

MCU version 4.51 is on our production FTP site, where the K3 Utility finds
it.

See K3 Utility Help, "Getting Started":

Click Copy Firmware Files from Elecraft. The latest firmware files will be
copied from an Elecraft file server to your Local folder for firmware files.
Then the firmware versions available in your Local folder for firmware files
are compared with the versions installed in your K3.

I just did this and my K3 Utility fetched the current firmware from
Elecraft's web site.

Does your Internet Explorer show a similar directory when you go to URL:
ftp://ftp.elecraft.com/K3/firmware?  If not, perhaps you have a stale
internet cache.  Use the Control Panel applet, Internet Options, and "delete
temporary files".

The current K3 Utility version is 1.12.3.28, dated March 28, 2012, and an
install link is near the bottom of our K3 software page,

Subject: [Elecraft] K3 firmware upgrade

I have routinely been able to update software in both K3s in the usual
manner. I tried to update to 4.51 today and the latest K3 urility that comes
up on the Elecraft site is 1.12.3.28. This utility will not allow me to
update to 4.51. I see that Elecraft recommends
K3 utility 1.3.9.2 but I can find
no evidence of that one on Elecraft' site. What am I missing?
