Once I had mine together, it took me another hour of fiddling with the rig - reading the book and understanding what they were talking about - to get it on the air. No trouble since. I've gone through many up dates and just updated a few minutes ago to the latest firmware.
I am not sure what you mean by environment, but I am sure you would have the latest firmware release other than the "beta" releases. I am not sure where they in the "official" release, but the rig would work. They do ship with with a working release, it might not be the latest gee-whiz release, but it will work FB, It has been a grand time with my K3 which I have had for a year now. 73 Lee K0WA The New Kansas QSO Party - August 29, Sat 9am-9pm and August 30 Sun 9am-3pm CDT In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply. If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it. If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense.
