[Elecraft] KX3 Firmware question

[Matt VK2RQ]

Did the KX3 utility detect the new firmware files and load them onto your radio? If not, it is probably an "oops" where the zip file on the ftp server was prepared incorrectly. In this case, you might need to move the files up a directory level for the utility to find them. If the utility found the files in the new sub directory, then no need to worry, all is good.
