Thanks to everybody for your advice.
But my problem still not solved, because I am communicating with the K3 via
my Microkeyer2.
Reading the K3 Utility Helpfiles shows that it might be a problem that my
USB to serial connection is
via my Microkeyer2 and the recommendation is to change the cabling so that
the PC is
connected directly to the K3 and that cable does not fit the K3 RS232 port.
I suppose I will have to order the KUSB-cable from Elecraft.
Any other suggestions?

Kurt,
Remember the K3 is basically an SDR and has a computer heart. Make sure
you have power to the K3. Don't worry about the power switch on the
front panel, it is not operational until the firmware is in place. The
flashing TX LED is a good sign, it says the K3 is awaiting the firmware.
Verify your connections for the firmware upload to the K3 and retry it.
Once you get the firmware back into the K3, the front panel power switch
will work again and all will be well.
