[Elecraft] K3 - Major Firmware Update

[ke8g.jim]

Make sure to read the release notes, as I know if you are updating a certain
version, you will need to do the calibration again, so a dummy load is
needed.

It's all pretty much guided by the utility, make sure to download the newest
K3 utility first, then do the update.

Subject: [Elecraft] K3 - Major Firmware Update

My K3 is sn 14xx and has not been upgraded since the K3S and the new
synthesizers came out.  It is running fine but I wonder about updating the
ucode because the new stuff is not in it.  I also have not updated my K3
Utility.  

 

IF I am going to update the firmware, I suppose I should get the newest
Utility and then go ahead and just do it all at once from 4.86 to 5.60 and
all the others too.  They all have new versions.

 

Is this dangerous?  Will I kill my radio?

 

Is there any advantage for me to do so as I have not put any of the K3S
stuff in my radio?

 

Should I do it anyway?

 

Thanks, 73, Jim KG0KP
