Alan,

While it is "not nice" to 'brick' the K3, there is quick and easy 
recovery.  Just follow the instructions in the manual or the K3 Utility 
Help file to 'Force a Firmware Download' - it takes only a minute or so.
The worst part is the initial gut-feeling alarm signals that go off - it 
is not disaster, and easily fixed.

It has only happened to me once, and the cause was a computer glitch 
during a firmware download.

73,
Don W3FPR
