I needed to make a real rs232 cable to get mine to work The usb adaptors don't work very well including the ones elecraft sell.
It's time to work on robustness on the loader instead on new features. This is a problem that will damage the K3 reputation if it is not addressed. As there are not many pc's that have the real ports anymore.

I first tried it five times getting ERR DSE E0000202 on the K3, and xE200006 on the K3Util screen with the details as "DSP1 verification failed, and version verification number failed. Then I deleted the K3Util program, and connected an Ethernet cable to my laptop, then reloaded the K3Util software. Tried another five tines with the same error results. I read all the notes online, and I'm stumped. All the other firmware loads fine.
