I got an email in response asking if I was running the latest 
version of the utility. I thought the utilities automatically 
checked their version when checking the firmware versions so of 
course I was running the current version, but that was wrong.

It turns out I was running an old version and the bug has been 
corrected in the newest version.

I was told Elecraft will look into having the utility check its 
own version. It is a good idea. You have to wade through too 
many web pages to check manually. It gets old if you have a 
bunch of utilities to check. An announcement on this list of new 
versions of the utilities would also be nice.
