With all of the recent discussions related to firmware, I'm wondering
what will be loaded in the new K3S that I have on order. And more

I already serve as a beta test person for another company. I'm really
not interesting in taking on "another science project" of this magnitude.
Hi Bob,
No undesired science projects here. Elecraft does not release production
firmware until it has been thoroughly tested. A dedicated program called
K3Utility is used to download firmware and load it to your K3. It
automatically queries the Elecraft ftp site for PRODUCTION firmware,
downloads it, and asks you if you want to upload it to your radio.
Beta firmware is in a different directory, is clearly labeled as such,
and is NOT automatically accessed by K3Utility. To access beta firmware,
you must download it with a browser or ftp utility, and unzip it to the
directory on your local hard drive where K3Utility stores its files.
