A followup on this: I've gotten lots of input and
help on this issue, on list and off. A local ham
with K3 experience, and who owns a KX3, came over
and gave my K3 a listen yesterday. All is good.
The issue was not in the new firmware but in my
still newbie-level understanding of the K3 and how
to set it up.

My K3/P3 arrived Friday. I listened a bit,
mostly on SSB but some on CW. I don't recall any
issues with how it sounded to me.
Yesterday afternoon I finally got around to
installing the K3 Utility and P3 Utility on my
shack Win 8.1 PC. I discovered that MCU 4.83 had
been released and upgraded from the version my
K3 #8004 was delivered with. All that went well
-- and I noticed that the DSP firmware was
updated, too, from msgs on the LCD.
Last night I again listened to more CW and with
some settings the audio seemed "different", for
lack of a better term. Most likely this is due
to my newness to the K3 and some significant
hearing impairments (stone deaf in one ear and
the "good" one isn't so great), but I'd like to
wring it out and see if there is/was a difference.
So I'd like to try installing the previous
release version (4.67 or 4.76) on my K3 and do
some A-B testing. The problem is that since my
K3 came with the earlier version installed, I
likely do not have the needed firmware files in
my computer to be loaded -- though reading at
the Elecraft website it looks possible to do
such a reversion if you do have them in your
computer
My questions: Are the needed earlier files
available for download, and if they are, which
files are they and how do I go about telling the
K3 utility to load them (I assume it's akin to
installing a beta version but as a K3 owner of
48 hours I've not had the opportunity to load
beta firmware).
