[Elecraft] KX3 Utility Firmware load status question

[Phil Hystad]

What am I thinking!!  Or, writing...

I meant to say P3, not KX3.  Same question but applied to P3.  Yes, my KX3 looks correct.

If it is displaying "N/A" in the DSP installed field, there could be a serial communication problem. Does it always display "N/A"? Try clicking the "Check Revisions Now" button and see if that helps. Try setting the KX3 RS232 speed to 38400 if it is not already.

But, for the loaded firmware, only the version number for MCU is shown, the other version numbers are indicated N/A.  Now, for each of these N/A entries, there is a corresponding entry in the "available" (next column to right) with the actual version number.
