Be careful, Brian. I bought one for my cousin to
use, an iBook, back in 2005. He passed away before
I was able to give it to him. I started using it
just to see what the fuss was all about. I was
hooked -- and none of my MacBooks have cost less
than 2 kilobucks as outfitted. Beware :-)
My main MacBook is dual-boot into Windows 7.
There's just too much software I use tethering me
to the Windows world.

Guys,
I apologize if my posting offended anybody.
This is not such a far fetched question. In
fact my son-in-law has such a household. It
made video chats with our 4 year old grandson a
real problem. He won't even use SKYPE and
insists on FACETIME.
So how was this resolved? He loaned me a 1
kilobuck MAC laptop....
Now we can do FACETIME too.

Ted- Did you try searching for the firmware
manually?

Are WINDOWS PC's banned from your household?
Certainly you know somebody who owns a
WINDOW's laptop.
If the situation were reversed and I needed an
APPLE computer for a
few minutes to install new firmware, I'd beg
or borrow one.

The current firmware version for the KAT500
is apparently MCU 1.67.
To access it requires the KAT500 Utility
version 14.2.20. That,
however, seems to be available only for
Windows. The latest utility
version for Mac OS X on the website is
1.14.2.1. When I run that,
the latest firmware version it finds is
1.41. Unfortunately 1.41
seems not to give the KAT500 the capability
of tracking the frequency
setting from the K3 as it tunes - with F/W
1.41 retunes only on the
first dit. Am I doing something wrong? Is
there a way to get 1.67
using a Mac (short of installing Windows on
the Mac)?
Thanks for whatever advice might be offered .
