Thanks, Bill. I was simply testing the utility. And, the utility shows it is communicating with the XG3 and when I select the firmware tab it shows only dashes for the firmware version I have installed in the XG3 and that 1.04 is available. Also, none of the other pages selected by the tabs (e.g. Operate, Configuration, etc.) allow me to enter any data or change the scan and so forth. All of the content of those pages is grayed out. I am using a FTDI chipset serial to USB converter, 32 bit Windows 7 (has worked for all other Elecraft utilities -- K3 and P3 as well as utilities for other ham radio equipment I have here). Also, I checked COM devices in the Control Panel and all is fine and even checked for an updated driver --- there was one and I installed it and rebooted my computer and tried the connection again. Funny, everything shows that the computer on COM 5 is communicating with the XG3 but the Utility shows nothing, only dashes, for the firmware version I have and no other operations (via the tabs) are permitted (every thing is grayed out). I am at a loss. Usually, I am pretty good at figuring out computer communications problems (part of what I dealt with very often in my former life -- profession) and I am stumped. Thanks, again, for the note, Bill.
