Hi Rick, I don't have any updated info on your K3 at this time other than verifying it is here and ready to be diagnosed. The good news is that we just freed up more resources to help expedite all repairs. 73, Wayne N6KR > On Apr 25, 2022, at 2:40 PM, rikoski wrote: > > Hello Wayne, >

On the contrary, it's easy to update wirelessly. I must have been less than clear with my original comment. Let me try again: If you don't have wired ethernet conveniently available near your K4, get a "Ethernet Extender" such as this:

No other setup that I'm aware of. Just plug in wired RJ45 Ethernet with active DHCP and an IP address appears on the K4 menu. Tap Fn|UPDATE and you're in dialog to download the latest or a prior release. Easy peasy. If you don't have easy access to wired Ethernet, use a so-called Ethernet

That is only true if DHCP is enabled in the router [it almost always is in home situations], AND the device you're connecting is configured to negotiate with DHCP for an IP address lease.  I don't have a K4 but I suspect there is at least one other attribute for the IP address setting that
