Gary,
It will arrive with firmware loaded, but it is a good idea to download
the latest firmware as soon as possible so your K3 can be 'up-to-date'.
You can download K3 Utility (this is the firmware loader) at any time
and go from there. K3 Utility has several features that may help you in
setting up your K3 configuration (particularly the filters). K3 Utility
and the latest firmware files are available from the Elecraft website.
The K3 Utility help file can guide you in selecting a folder to hold the
files on your local computer - it will check and download the latest
firmware files if you tell it to do that. All in all, it is an almost
painless process.

I ordered my new K3 at Dayton which is scheduled for delivery in Sept. My
question to the group is:
Will the radio come with some version of software or firmware installed or
be "dumb as a box of rocks" just out of the box and require some version of
downloading before it will work at all. Any "heads up" for when the radio
arrives would be appreciated. TIA, de gary, kd9sv
