[Elecraft] Newest P3 FW Upgrade

I absolutely cannot upgrade to the latest P3 FW (1.25).  I had similar 
issues with 1.24, but it eventually loaded after several attempts.

I have tried about seven or eight times and it always gets to the same 
spot and I then get a message, "Elecraft P3 Utility quit unexpectedly."  
FW version 1.24 would get to different spots before it quit.

I am using the latest P3 Utility for the Mac 1.13.2.3.  It also locks up 
with a previous version of the P3 Utility.

I tried re-loading 1.24 and I get the same error at what appears to be 
the same point of the load.  I really cannot tell you where it stops as 
the Utility quits and does not show the last message.

I can reboot the P3 and it appears to work fine and restarting the P3 
Utility tells me whatever version FW is on it.  However, it is a tad 
disconcerting that the FW load never completes.

I have tried different baud rates, but it won't even attempt to load at 
anything other than 38k4.  I seem to remember reading somewhere that you 
can only load FW at 38k4, but I cannot find that reference now and I 
probably dreamed it.

If I am missing something, please, enlighten me.

Thanks,
Joel - W4JBB
