Re: [Elecraft] Firmware Updates
Bernie - and all, I would suggest that you download and install the latest K3 Utility, then connect with your K3S and "Copy Files from Elecraft". After that, look in the K3 Utility Help file for the Firmware Release Notes. You will find information on the firmware updates between what you are now using and the latest. If any are of interest to you, then update your K3S to the latest. Simply click "Send All Firmware to the K3" and wait for it to complete (do not interrupt the process). It will take only 3 to 5 minutes. I would encourage you to update the firmware as it is available. It is much different than Windows Updates, and much less disruptive. You have to initiate the update rather than having Microsoft, etc. deciding it "is good for you" and automatically installing. In most all cases, the firmware updates are painless and take nothing away from your prior operation, but only add new features that may enhance your operating experience. Should the very worst happen and your computer has a glitch during the update process, recovery is easy. Just follow the instructions in the K3 Utility Help File for "Force a Firmware Download", and all will be well after that. That problem rarely happens - computer power glitch, user interruption and other similar situations. If it should occur for you, recovery is easy - just follow the directions. I have only encountered it once in the 10 years I have had my K3 when I did "fumble fingers" to interrupt the total download. 73, Don W3FPR On 6/25/2019 7:51 PM, Bernie and Cheryl wrote: I got my K3s (#10323) back in October, 2015, and got my KPA 500 (#2664) a few months later (I have the full K line including the KAT 500).

Re: [Elecraft] Firmware Updates
I tend to go a couple+ years between updating my K3 P3 KPA. Unlike MS, updating has never broken anything. I would do it without hesitation. And of course backup first. But I’ve never needed a backup. 73 Josh W6XU Sent from my mobile device > On Jun 25, 2019, at 4:51 PM, Bernie and Cheryl wrote: > > I got my K3s (#10323) back in October, 2015, and got my KPA 500 (#2664) a few > months later (I have the full K line including the KAT 500). > > When I built them, I promptly updated the firmware, and haven't done it > since.

Re: [Elecraft] Firmware Updates
If you run the K3 Utility and the KPA500 Utility, download the latest from Elecraft and install same. Also while you have those utilities up and running, do a back-up of each. The current version for the KPA500 is 1.54 and for the K3S is 5.67 for the MCU. I'd say both of your items are needing updated. I get about 1 update per week from Microsoft and I have that installed at my choice...when I'm asleep. Although I don't use it, I'd also say that HRD is likely in need of updating as well. I try to keep all of my software and systems updated. Things run much smoother in that regard. 73 Bob, K4TAX On 6/25/2019 6:51 PM, Bernie and Cheryl wrote: I got my K3s (#10323) back in October, 2015, and got my KPA 500 (#2664) a few months later (I have the full K line including the KAT 500).

[Elecraft] FIRMWARE UPDATES AND CHANGED CONFIG VALUES
Every once in a while firmware updates do result in changed CONFIG values. I suspect this results from user customized settings being changed back to default values as a result of new coding affecting specific functions. After every update I run through the CONFIG bank to see which values, if any, I need to change back to my customized settings. Rarely do they change, and checking them usually takes all of two minutes. Saving the settings in the Utility would do it even quicker, but I enjoy knob twiddling more than key punching. I also trust my ability to knob twist more than I do my ability to handle the Utility. In any event, not a few postings could be avoided by checking and restoring your CONFIG values first before turning to the reflector. Furthermore, printing out a running copy of the /K3 Firmware Release Notes/ and keeping them in a 3-hole binder is a quick and easy way to find out how to /restore /CONFIG values you have previously changed. These /Notes/ are always more current than the /K3 Owner's Manual/. Plus . . . (perhaps the most important of all) . . . referring to the /Notes/ on a regular basis updates the brain on all the enhancements which have accrued (and will continue to accrue) to the K3. 73, Kent K9ZTV Someone wrote: > I believe that up until my last (the latest) firmware update my K3 had the > ability to send CW whilst listening in SSB mode.

RE: [Elecraft] Firmware updates
That's not my experience. Just yesterday I unzipped a the current beta version into a folder named "K3FW2R63" that was a subfolder of "My Documents". I used the K3 Utility Firmware page "Browse" button to navigate to that folder and I loaded the K3 directly from that folder. To download non-beta firmware into a folder of your choice, first create a folder (perhaps using the Windows Explorer). Then navigate to that folder with the K3 Utility's Firmware Page "browse" function or type in the location of the folder. Check the "copy files from Elecraft" check box and click "Check Versions Now". The K3 Utility should copy all the files into that folder, whether it's the default folder or not. The K3 Utility doesn't create a folder for you. If you type in the name of a folder that doesn't exist, you'll get file write errors during the "copy files" phase.
