Why over complicate what should be a straightforward process?  It should be akin to “firmware for dummies”.  Install it, and let it take care of itself.

Even in the existing K3, there are a multitude of configurations possible.  The system manages to keep it all straight — like not trying to turn on the DVR when you don’t have one, or continually berating you to install the KRX3 you don’t have.  This is really no different.

Simple (for US) is best.  Let Elecraft worry about how the internal software machinations sort out the hardware configuration.  They seem to be able to do that pretty well.
