[Elecraft] KPA-500 FW Update

[J Robert Witmer]

Just thought I'd describe my recent KPA-500 firmware update experience for those Mac users who might be unsure about the process.
I purchased my KPA-500 in Sept 2012 and have enjoyed using it ever since.  I've also enjoyed "lurking" since then on this list - learning much in the process.
During the ARRL convention this past July I stopped by the Elecraft booth to say hello and check on the usability of the Elecraft SW utilities for the Mac. I was told the Elecraft Mac SW utilities would work well and the KPA-500 firmware version 1.38 update was highly recommended.
I was skeptical but decided to proceed.  After acquiring the interface cable I downloaded the Elecraft SW, followed the instructions for connecting my Mac to the KPA-500 and proceeded.  To my amazement - "It just worked” - the firmware updated with no issues!
Well-done Elecraft!  In many ways Elecraft is the Apple (Computer) of the ham radio equipment manufacturers in terms of customer relationships and equipment versatility.
Thanks & 73
