Re: [Elecraft] KX3/PX3 Beta Firmware loading with Mac OS Mavericks (10.9.5)

I had the same problem with safari, but as you spotted Firefox works fine.

However you don't want too use the "check revisions now" button with a beta - 
that'll go to Elecraft for the latest release edition. Just send the firmware 
to the KX3.

I hope this helps.

Cheers

Mark,

I have only ever had one issue with using my Mac on ELECRAFT files, and that 
was when I failed to refresh the local caching.

I have quite routinely copied the "zip" files to my Mac desktop, and pointed 
the KX3 or PX3 utility to those folders to install new firmware.

Cheers

[Elecraft] KX3/PX3 Beta Firmware loading with Mac OS Mavericks (10.9.5)

2014-09-29 Thread Mark Raybould
Mac Safari will not action the 'ftp' URL, but Firefox loads kx3fw2r23.zip
and I locate it in a folder Elecraft Beta.  Files Un-zipped. Activate KX3
Utility, and entering the path to Beta folder, 'Local folder for firmware
files', and on 'Checking versions now', the path to the Beta folder is
ignored and the previous path for non-beta files is chosen.  Is this a
challenge for many Mac users or do I go back to Windows?  Thanks for any
assistance.
