[Elecraft] KAT500 Firmware Revisions for MAC OS X

The current firmware version for the KAT500 is apparently MCU 1.67.  To access it requires the KAT500 Utility version 14.2.20.  That, however, seems to be available only for Windows.  The latest utility version for Mac OS X on the website is 1.14.2.1.  When I run that, the latest firmware version it finds is 1.41.  Unfortunately 1.41 seems not to give the KAT500 the capability of tracking the frequency setting from the K3 as it tunes - with F/W 1.41 retunes only on the first dit.  Am I doing something wrong?  Is there a way to get 1.67 using a Mac (short of installing Windows on the Mac)?

Thanks for whatever advice might be offered . . .
