Tim's library install didn't work for me.  Might be because I am on Ubuntu
16.04.

Do everything Tim suggested up until you have to install libraries.  Then
try the following.  This is what I used for Ubuntu 16.04, 14.04, and
12.04:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386
libgtk2.0-0:i386

./kx3util

I just tried this on a new install of a 64bit Ubuntu 16.04 image and it
worked.  The KX3Util started a little slowly the first time, but then after
that it was within a second or two.

If you have a px3, you don't need to reinstall the libraries, just follow
Tim's directions to download the PX3 tar file and repeat the steps minus
the library install.  Then type:
./px3util

You can always go to the Elecraft site and download using your browser too.
