I will ditto Don's comment. I regularly test the firmware and have had no issues. I use the latest firmware files and I have rolled back once only to turn around and load the updated firmware beta again. Every release goes through thorough testing and I have had no issues other than suggestions. There may some feature bugs but these were always add-ons or updates to configurations that needed improvement.

As a Field Test member, I have loaded new and updated firmware 5 to 10 times more frequently than other users, and I have NEVER found a change in my configuration data after an upgrade, nor have I had a problem loading new firmware. I do have a few saved configuration files, but have never felt the need to do a restore - the K3 firmware is solid for all versions I have dealt with since I received my K3 in early January 2008. A configuration save is not required prior to doing an upgrade, although some may choose to do it. 73, Don W3FPR K2ZLS wrote: > Hi Don, > > >> The K3Utility versions are not related to firmware upgrades (only one >> exception that I recall) /www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
