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 the reflector.
Ted- Did you try searching for the firmware manually?

Are WINDOWS PC's banned from your household?
Certainly you know somebody who owns a WINDOW's laptop.
If the situation were reversed and I needed an APPLE computer for a
few minutes to install new firmware, I'd beg or borrow one.

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 version it finds is 1.41. Unfortunately 1.41
seems not to give the KAT500 the capability of tracking the frequency
setting from the K3 as it tunes - with F/W 1.41 retunes only on the
first dit. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to get 1.67
using a Mac (short of installing Windows on the Mac)?
Thanks for whatever advice might be offered . . .
Ted, KN1CBR
