[Elecraft] Failed K3 Firmware update DSP1

[Matthew Lawson]

Well, Howard was able to send me FW 2.19 and I had a successful flash to
the K3.

Now I tried to jumped from version 2.19 to 5.38, is there a bug in jumping
this far? Is there a DSP hardware revision that may have an issue with
current version of firmware (older radio, 1st gen, etc...?)???

Anyways my rig is back from being a brick, and is working again. YEAH!!!

An observation on this, I accidentally tried to push just the DSP1 Firmware
from 2.19 with 5.38 MCU still installed but it would fail, saw my error and
corrected it and had a successfully flash when the 2.19 MCU was installed
first. This made me wonder if this was part of the problem with the update.
Is there some sort of version check with the DSP1 to MCU?

I am wanting to try an incremental update from 2.19, but older firmware is
not published.

Wanted to keep the list updated on whats been happening and thank you for
all your support in this.
