If it were me, I'd follow the assembly instructions as closely as I could. If the assembly instructions said "install latest firmware at this point" I'd do that.
The calibration procedures that were the most time-consuming and error-prone are now automated. Synthesizer cal was always done by the K3 internally, and the Tx Gain calibration can be done with an assist from the K3 Utility (it's on the Config tab). But I think it would be fine if you updated firmware before calibration, too. Dick, K6KR From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Walter V. Gilles Sent: Saturday, February 14, 2009 9:33 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] K3/100 Assembly - Initial test & Cals Greetings, I am just starting the initial test and cals portion of assembly, prior KNB3 enable and KPA3 installation. Power-up went fine with no errors. Before I start with Synthesizer Cal and move on, is now a good time to update the firmware to latest release, then do all the cals? I'm guessing so, but confirmation appreciated. Thanks much. Walter, N0DZJ
