Thanks Ian, I was able to install curl with the sudo apt-get command line - thanks to Nate. The KPA Utility is now working but I get the following error message :
Elecraft KPA Utility for Linux Version 1.4.5.4 KPA firmware file "KPA500FP0111.hex" verified KPA Bootstrap Loader did not echo "D" Remove KPA power and retry firmware load KPA programming failed. Remove power and re-try the firmware load. KPA firmware load failed I have checked the menu on the KPA and cannot see what needs to be changed. Thanks for your offer of help. 73 from Charles - M0BIN On 8 November 2011 13:38, Ian Kahn <km4ik....@gmail.com> wrote: > Charles, > > When you perform the search in Synaptic, use the full search capability > (not the quick search) and enter "curl" (without the quotes) in the search > criteria field.
