Hello All
I recently ordered a KRX3A and KSYN3A board for my K3. I was running firmware
version 4.58 so I thought I'd better update it in readiness for the new
arrivals.
The computer I use for radio is 32 bit running Win98se, it works very well with
my homebrew logging program which
I'm running I3 utils from both Win7-64 and from Ubuntu 12.04. At
38,400 bps, neither of them take this long (4400, 2200 sec).
Are you operating that serial port at 4800 bps? You could improve
your firmware load time by increasing it to 9,600, 19,200, or 38,400.

broke, don't fix it mentality). So, I downloaded the current KX3 utility, got
