[Elecraft] KX3 Utility

[Dave B]

All I did in the past, was to:-

Create a new folder for it from my home folder.

Extract the contents of the downloaded archive to that folder.

Create a desktop launcher pointing to the executable.

Install curl (and it's dependancies.)  Needed to download firmware from 
Elecraft's site.

$ sudo apt-get install curl


I was already a member of the "dialout" group, but you might need to 
join that group

$ sudo adduser <your username> dialout   (Of course, sudo will ask for 
your password.)


Then log out, and log back in again.

After all that, it "just worked."   Even with any of my generic 
USB<>Serial leads and homebrew cable, or the Elecraft USB<>KX3 lead.


The above worked well on Lubuntu, and Mint.   Both derivatives of Ubuntu.
