This is one of the reasons I stopped using Linux. I got tired of constantly chasing down software dependencies.

Will try that later.

All this needs documenting!  Perhaps instead of a faceless error number,
a more meaningfull error message might be in order?

Hi Dave,

You need to install cUrl on your Linux distro. That will solve the
problem downloading files from Elecraft's server.

sudo apt-get install curl

Hi.

Well, my KX3 is now built (took a little under 3 hours) updated and
working very well indeed!

What a cracking little radio.

Only one wrinkle...

The kx3util program (Linux version) couldn't connect to Elecraft's
servers to find out if there was any later firmware available. (Error
120 I think it was, not 100% sure...)

I eventually hacked my way backwards from the link to the Beta test
code, to find the current production stuff. (Why no direct link to the
current code?) Downloaded the files into the 'util's firmware folder,
and was good to go.

Anyway, done and dusted.

One last thing. Who to contact to "register" the serial number so any
(hopefully nill) warranty issues can be catered for.
