Chris, I would recommend staying current with all production versions of utility software as it becomes available. This keeps you up-to-date regarding all new features and products. For example, the latest K3 firmware v. 04.36 provides support for the KPA500 plus other improvements.
You can find the latest updates on the Elecraft website--click on Firmware + SW tab from home page. You can also check for latest firmware when running one of the utilities. For example, if you run the K3 Utility, you can then click on the Firmware tab and then click on the Check Versions Now button -- after waiting a few moments -- you can compare the versions of firmware installed on your K3 versus what is available. It works that way for all of the firmware utilities. I only update when this screen tells me that new versions are available. I then simply click the Send All Firmware to K3 button. You can also download beta versions of new firmware before they are officially released for production. Those are also available from the website, but is somewhat more complicated to install. I tend to wait for the latest production versions as described above.
