Dick,
I was unable to get the file to download from the site! I tried for two days with timeouts. I then gave up and moved all files to the default folder and tried again. Go figure. I also added the firmware updater to my firewall just to be it wasn't blocking it. I wrote Wayne to ask if there was something wrong, and he advised the site was very busy. I tried late last night and then this morning at 7 am central time. No luck. When I had a moment, I moved the files from my configured location to the default, and tried again. It worked. So I figured there must be something in the code that is preventing the updates. My radio is serial #1744 and was factory built. I only started downloading updates when updated firmware is posted. I tried a beta when Wayne was looking for some of us to try over the weekend. Then when 2.58 became available I tried to download with the problem mentioned. Perhaps it was user error, as I explain to my PC customers quite frequently. J Bill You should be able to load firmware from any folder in the PC's file system. There's nothing magic about the default folder. The folder needs to have all the files, see the troubleshooting section of Help on "Missing files" for the list. What symptoms did you observe that led you to the "firmware update process doesn't like" conclusion? 73 de Dick, K6KR From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Johnson Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2008 11:04 AM To: 'Andrew Vine'; 'Elecraft Reflector' Subject: RE: [Elecraft] K3 Beta firmware rev. 2.58 David, I too had trouble. I moved the files to the default folder and downloader again successfully. Apparently the firmware update process doesn't like placing into other than the default folder. It could have been my error, but once I relocated the files all worked just fine.
