John,
You first have to click on the "Copy New Files From Elecraft" button to
load the files into your computer.
After they download, you should see the information in the "Firmware
Revisions" section. You should see the list of what is installed in
your K3S as well as what is Available. If your firmware is at a lower
level that what is available, you can click either the "Send All
Firmware to K3" button or the "Send All New Firmware to K3" button. The
firmware load should proceed automatically.
Yes, if you cannot connect to the Elecraft website, you will not be able
to get the firmware files into your computer.
Click on the Configuration tab and see if you can save your current
configuration.
73,
Don W3FPR

New K3S arrived, seems to work fine as a radio
Came set for CONFIG:USB, connect Elecraft USB cable to Win 7 laptop, all
drivers seemed to down load OK.
But when I start up K3 Utility, I get a COM Port 5 connection but will only say "K3
waiting for firmware load: RS232 speed 38400 bit/s"
This is version 1.13.5.9 of the K3 Utility, thought maybe needed later version - but
Elecraft.com seems to be down. Is that why "waiting for firmware load..." is
happening?
