[Elecraft] KX3 utility on RPi

[Phil Wheeler]

Jim,

The Elecraft site 
http://www.elecraft.com/KX3/KX3_software.htm

*Minimum Operating System Requirements for 
Elecraft Utilities:*

*Microsoft Windows*: XP Service Pack 3 or later, 
including Vista, 7, 8, and 8.1.

*Apple Mac:* OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or later

*X86-based Linux:* GTK+ 2.8 or later, glibc-2.4, 
libstdc++.so.6 and cURL. 64-bit Linux requires 
32-bit compatibility libraries.


My thinking is that your RPi3 is not running 
X86-based Linux -- and/or ....

73, Phil W7OX

I’d like to load the most current firmware into the KX3 so I can get the full 15 watts out. I downloaded and un-tar’d the KX3 Utility from the Elecraft web site. So - now what? If I click on the “kx3util” executable, nothing happens. What is the secret procedure to get this going? I am using the Raspian Jessie (Debian Linux) OS on this RPi.
