Please don't rename firmware files. There's a consistency check that compares the internal version number and the version number implied by the filename that will be disrupted if you rename the files. Firmware load verification will fail if you do this.
Instead, clear the "Copy Latest Files from Elecraft" check box, create a folder with the files you want to load, navigate to that folder, and that is the "available" version column. You can load back-level files by using the View Menu's Advanced Option to expose a column of per-processor check boxes. Select the MCU and DSP1 check boxes and click "Send Checked Items" button. Be careful which files you load together. MCU and DSP1 versions are sometimes released together with interdependencies. Their version numbers do not show that dependency. Thus, MCU 01.39 does not necessarily correspond to DSP 01.39. In general, you should be moving forward, and the options to go backward were deemphasized in an attempt to make it as straightforward as possible to go forward to newer (and presumably better) firmware revisions. 73 de Dick, K6KR -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thomas Norff Sent: Sunday, November 25, 2007 5:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Elecraft] [K3] Minor irritation with K3 Firmware Loader, Version 1.0.11.21 Hi Ed, I did it with a file rename... The Software offers only the newest file to upload to the receiver. Download all available files from the FTP site if you don't have them already on your pc. Restart the software and configure the 'advanced mode' (view menu...). After uploading the firmware you can just rename the file to its original name. The software will offer the newest version as before... Didn't find any information about concernes to switch between the different versions. Especially the dependencies between the MCU and DSP versions is not clear. Maybe Elecraft can give us some information ... ?

The problem I have with the download utility is that it doesn't allow you to revert to an older version of the firmware. Maybe you can rename the file, but then you probably will risk not being able to load a later version of that name. Does anyone know how to revert to a previous firmware load? _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
