Jamie: I've been asked to explain a "why":  Install the lastest K3 Utility 
because I updated the Help Text that describes the recovery procedure.  In 
an earlier e-mail you mentioned a checkbox for copy new files from Elecraft, 
and that's been removed in recent K3 Utility versions (there's a button 
instead). That made me think you're using an older K3 Utility version, and 
the help text I'm describing may not be in that earlier K3 Utility version.

Jamie:
First install the most recent version of the K3 Utility from our web page at 
http://www.elecraft.com/K3/k3_software.htm.  It's verison 1.16.7.25.

There are step-by-step instructions in K3 Utility Help, troubleshooting, MCU 
load failure, that will walk you through the recovery steps.

trying to load new firmware......if I read Fred manual correctly, power on 
while holding “SHIFT/LO/0” should reset it but its not working......the 
SHIFT/LO/0 is that the knob for the width? I’m assuming it is, but mine 
doesn’t say the zero.....
