[Elecraft] Updating K3/P3 Firmware/Software after long silence...

[Phil Hystad]

To the K3/P3 utility experts…

A friend of mine, owner of K3/P3, has not updated his K3/P3 firmware, nor utility programs, in at least 3 years, possibly 4 years.  The loss of his antenna, a divorce, and a move from one state to another lead to his long downtime.

Now, he is anxious to get back on the air and fire up the old K3/P3.  He asked me for instructions, I told him the following:

1.  Get the latest versions of the utility programs for the K3 and P3 first.

2.  Only need to update the latest set of software/firmware files since they are inclusive of all previous changes.


Now, I am pretty sure I am correct on item 2 but not 100 percent confident.  Given that he may have not updated for the last 4 years, is there anything special he made need to do.  I don’t think he is interested in joining this group even though I have suggested it a number of times.
