Is there any problem "jumping " from my current level to the newest?
Thanks Guys, I should have known but somehow I thought I had to upgrade to load new levels because of the synthesizers. So glad to hear that and this one will be quite an upgrade from maybe a couple of years ago. I just made 1200 contacts with it in the previous 9 days for Route 66 On-The-Air Special Event and it worked just fine like it always dd. Heard from another person who was listening to me and didn't understand how I could hear some and he couldn't. I told him it was spelled K3. Last year 2387 and the previous year 2606 in the 9 days. Had personal stuff in the way this year. Radio works FINE. Will start with a new K3 Utility and go from there.

K3 Utility has the capability to interrogate your K3 and determine which modules are to be loaded. Yes, there are K3S unique firmware modules, but K3 Utility sorts all that out so you get the latest for your K3 configuration. The firmware is "backwards compatible" - the K3 is not obsolete nor "old school". Elecraft would not remove firmware upgrade support without notice - consider that the legacy gear is still being supported - the K2, K1, and KX1 - that is witness to the Elecraft support for all customers, new or old. The first K2s were produced in 1998 and are still going strong and even those first K2s are capable of being upgraded with mod kits to be equal to the latest K2 being shipped (with some minor exceptions). I think this is an example of the kind of support you will receive from Elecraft in the future. 73, Don W3FPR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
