[Elecraft] K4 production software release 13 now available

[Wayne Burdick]

K4 production software release 13 is now available. We strongly recommend that all K4 owners perform the update to remain current and take advantage of the latest improvements. 

An Ethernet connection is required to obtain new software. The K4 accesses our software server directly.

To perform the update:

1. Tap the Fn button (on the LCD), then hold UPDATE

2. Select "Production Release" from the pull-down menu at the top of the screen. Then tap the "Check for Updates" button. This will download (but not install) the latest files.

Note: You can tap "Release Notes" to read the release notes before doing an "Install" (step 3), if desired. You can also read them after installation.

3. Tap the "Install" button. This will install all software and firmware that is newer than what you have at present. 

NOTE: When the load process has completed, if you see any error messages in the status area of the update screen, please try loading a second time. This is a one-time step that may be needed that takes advantage of improvements in the updater itself.

For more detailed information, tap the "?" button on the LCD from within the update screen.
