[Elecraft] problem downloading new (current) firmware from kx3 FTP site.

[Dick Dievendorff]

Probably because the folder you’re choosing for firmware files cannot be written to without admin privileges. Most folders under Program Files require admin permission for write. It’s intended for programs, not user data.

Click the default button on the KX3 Utility Firmware tab, and the utility should then be able to write into that folder.

Or choose a different folder under your user folder...
