[Elecraft] P3 Firmware update fails.... ME TOO

[Don Wilhelm]

Bill,

The firmware update is a 2 step process.  The first is to download the 
firmware files to your computer (check for new files at Elecraft), and 
the 2nd is to load those files from your computer to the P3/K3/etc and 
requires you to click on Send Files to P3/K3/etc".

 From those messages, you are apparently failing on the first step.  Try 
again and if it continues, contact your ISP.

73,
Don W3FPR
