It appears that the K3 Utility is not communicating with the K3.
Try the Ports tab, "Test Communications" and you should get an informational
screen indicating that the K3 Utility is communicating with the K3 at the
same baud rate as you see when you examine the K3's CONFIG:RS-232 menu
setting. The warning screen may indicate that the device your USB to Serial
port adapter is connected to is just echoing whatever it sees, and that
probably isn't a K3 with operational firmware in it.
Check any port address choices you have to verify that the USB to Serial
adapter port address is right. If you can't get through "test
communications", you won't be able to load firmware.
I'll copy David Fleming, the author of the Mac K3 Utility, on this note.

Subject: [Elecraft] K3/Mac OSX firmware download seems stuck
My K3 (just received) came with a note that said to download the
latest firmware before using it.
Config menu says uC 1.78 / FW REV 5
I got through most of the process, but it won't finish. Here is the
report from the K3 Utility:
08:47:53 K3 boot loader is ready for MCU firmware load. RS232 38400 bps.
08:49:08 K3 boot loader is waiting for MCU firmware load.
08:51:18 Connecting to ftp.elecraft.com. Please be patient, this takes
a few seconds.
08:51:29 Connected to Elecraft server.
08:51:41 Copying files to "Windy HD:Users:windy:Library:Application
Support:Elecraft:K3 Firmware:"
08:51:53 "hmcu0178.hex" verification succeeded
08:51:58 "TBOOT7.HEX" verification succeeded
08:52:09 "HDSP0158.HEX" verification succeeded
08:52:19 "HAUX0155.HEX" verification succeeded
08:52:36 "DTBL0008.HEX" verification succeeded
08:52:42 Copied "K3UtilityVersionInfo.txt" from Elecraft
08:52:48 Copied "hfwnotes.rtf" from Elecraft
08:52:48 Copied 7 files from Elecraft to "Windy
HD:Users:windy:Library:Application Support:Elecraft:K3 Firmware:"
08:52:50 K3 boot loader is waiting for MCU firmware load.
08:52:50 Ready
08:54:42 K3 boot loader is waiting for MCU firmware load.
08:59:16 K3 boot loader is ready for MCU firmware load. RS232 38400 bps.
That's as far as it will go after pressing "Send All New Firmware to
K3".
I'm using the KUSB adapter between my Mac (with current OSX) and the
K3. K3 is turned on. I don't see any clues in any instructions about
anything else I'm supposed to do.
It's Saturday, so the factory isn't open.
