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

[Brian Hunt]

Are you using Windows 10?  It has a fit when you try to download files 
into its protected directories like  C:\Program Files (x86)\Elecraft\KX3 
Utility.  I don't have the KX3 Utility but the K3 utility has an option 
to place downloaded files somewhere in the User directory.  Windows 
should accommodate this by setting up a directory in 
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData.  Check that out and see if it helps.
