Hi As I use WinXP I had to use an older version to load 2.05  (new version of utility gave me the checksum error). The version that loaded 2.05 correctly is 1.18.8.6 It loaded ok and works. 73 de Joe  4X1RV __ Elecraft

[Elecraft] KAT500 Firmware Confusion

A post to the recent Yahoo Elecraft site indicates KAT500 firmware v.1.63 is the latest version that takes care of problems that occur with RIT/XIT. I currently have v.1.67 and utility v.1.14.4.10. What are the correct and current beta or non-beta firmware and utility versions for the KAT500? Tha

Like Phil, I run exclusively Macs in the house. there are some Windows PC's here (a laptop that I never use and an old desktop.) When I was starting to program my radios via the computer, I threw a Windows in a VM for programming purposes. I now use that rather than a dedicated Windows machine.

Be careful, Brian. I bought one for my cousin to use, an iBook, back in 2005. He passed away before I was able to give it to him. I started using it just to see what the fuss was all about. I was hooked -- and none of my MacBooks have cost less than 2 kilobucks as outfitted. Beware :-) My ma

I'm currently encoding the build date as the version #. 1.14.2.1 was built on February 1, 2014. Often W4SMT uses the same version number for equivalent function, even if it's done later. Dick, K6KR > On Jun 1, 2014, at 15:55, Phil Hystad wrote: > > Ted, > > I have a Mac, I have a KAT500,

Sad but true, Brian -- and not so much with Elecraft who do provide support for Windows, OS X and Linux. I purchased a really inexpensive ($280) HP laptop for my shack, even though I mostly use MacBooks: There's just too much Windows software for ham radio out there to not have Windows availab

Re: [Elecraft] KAT500 Firmware Revisions for MAC OS X

There should be no reason that Ted should have to borrow a PC in order to update the firmware in his KAT500. The OSX utility should have the same functionality as the Windows version. In any case, there's also no reason he should have to put up with a lack of courtesy when asking a question on

Ted, I have a Mac, I have a KAT500, and I have MCU 1.67 installed on my KAT500 and I am using the KAT500 Utility program version 1.14.2.1. Everything works hunky dory. Now, I am not sure why the Elecraft web page suggests 1.14.2.20 except for the fact that it does denote the latest Windows rel

The current firmware version for the KAT500 is apparently MCU 1.67. To access it requires the KAT500 Utility version 14.2.20. That, however, seems to be available only for Windows. The latest utility version for Mac OS X on the website is 1.14.2.1. When I run that, the latest firmware versio
