[Elecraft] K3S Firmware Update for Mac

[David Herring]

John,

When you try to run the utility, has MacOS ever at any point popped up and warned you that you’re trying to run something downloaded from the Internet?

Also, will you right click on the app, choose “get info” and check that it is 22,545,264 bytes in size, and that is says it’s “kind” is “application?”

73,
David - N5DCH

Once I found that and accepted their terms, the app popped right up.

I tested it just before this email , where I discovered there is a new load that requires a gain adjustment on the K3s for six meters.  I downloaded it and installed it and made the gain adjustment.
