Ah, the dreaded error 12029. Now I get it. I suspended my virus protection and the K3 utility connected to the Elecraft server and loaded the latest firmware. Thanks for the help. 73, Steve __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailma

The K3 Utility finds the highest version of each firmware file in the folder. If the mist recent rev is problematic, remove it or rename it perhaps by changing it's extension. I don't provide any help in matching MCU to DSP revisions tho. Several FTers and customers have never used the K3 Ut

I keep the beta zip files in the directory, when there is a new version to test I delete the 8 extracted files from the last zip and extract the contents from the latest zip. That way there is little chance of confusion between versions and it's easy to store the various releases without creati

Thanks Dick, I stand corrected. Even though the older versions are not discarded, is it possible to load a prior version of the firmware from that one folder? If so, how is that specified? My experience with this is limited. I am one of the firmware field testers and download my firmware from

Don, I guess there was no Beta of 3.79. Many of us have gotten use to downloading the Beta releases and so this threw us off. It wasn't intuitively obvious how to do a released version. 73, Steve __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://m

Elliot, It sounds like you are attempting to use the procedure for downloading beta releases. The .zip file was most likely removed when it was no longer considered a beta version. The release versions have always been downloaded by K3 Utility into the folder (you can choose that folder - make
