[Elecraft] KX3/PX3 Beta Firmware loading with Mac OS Mavericks (10.9.5)

[Andy McMullin]

I had the same problem with safari, but as you spotted Firefox works fine.

However you don't want too use the "check revisions now" button with a beta - that'll go to Elecraft for the latest release edition. Just send the firmware to the KX3.

I hope this helps.

Cheers
Andy, G8TQH
