My IC-7800 requires that you install each firmware upgrade. I believe that ICOM must be using a "delta patch" sort of technology. The Elecraft K3 uses a "completely replace" approach.
Those of us who test K3 firmware that hasn't yet been released to customers need the ability to bounce back and forth between firmware versions. That's why there is an "Advanced Mode" option on the K3 Utility View menu which displays check boxes and buttons necessary to load firmware that's older than the version installed in the radio. I must load firmware 5 to 10 times a day, and I think the firmware developers may do it much more often than that. 73 de Dick, K6KR -----Original Message----- From: Bill NY9H [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 16, 2008 9:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 'Nelson Wittstock'; [email protected] Subject: RE: [Elecraft] K3 Firmware downloads much like other radio/s... You will not find the necessity of " going back" to retrieve a stable version. None of the changes has had me EVER thinking I wanted to go backwards. bill.
