Some of the most significant changes
Hello,
Since ~ 1 year, i 've not upgraded the firmware.
(K3#1212) should be 2.56 ??? (i'm at office...)
My question: As i've never done hardware
modifications, can the FW 3.63 be installed
without problem?
Thank you for your help!

Should the utility V1.2.10.27 recognize 3.63? It claims the version it
just downloaded is 3.57.

Or, browse to the FTP site, download the files, save them away, expand the file
with the firmware in it
Yep - been there done that. No joy.
Why not have a clickable link on the web page too? I guess (my CRS is
kicked in) I was able to download the other revs because there was a
link in the email...

I also downloaded 3.63 from the Elecraft ftp site using K3 Utility - no
problem
Yes, I clicked on the Check Versions Now button - the box next to 'Copy
new files From Elecraft into local folder' was checked.

The K3 utility always gets them from the same ftp directory on our web
site when you press 'check Versions Now'.. Its pretty mindless - in a
good way :-)
Make sure you also have also checked the 'Copy new files from elecraft
into Local Folder' box before pressing 'Check Versions now'. I leave
So I downloaded another copy of the utility, and installed it. The
result is the same.
And yes, I did "Select "Copy new files from Elecraft" and click "Check

Hi mike,
when i ran it here, I was just confirming that the correct files were on
the ftp site and that K3Utility could see them. I was worried I had
copied the wrong ones.
Pretty much this is the first time we've ever heard of some people not
being able to see the files automatically on the s
What may be happening is too many people are trying to contact the ftp
site at once and it is refusing additional connections. Try it again a
little alter after the rush subsides.

Well, there's a link on the software page at the very bottom. There you will
find a folder called "beta". Download the folder, or if you don't want the
release notes, just download the zip file. Expand it. Browse to it in Utility
and go for broke.
I'm not sure why 3.63 is still in the "bet

I suspect that the Utility is doing its FTP using Wininet functions. For
non-programmers that means it's essentially getting Internet Explorer to do
the work invisibly in the background. It's a good
One other thought - does your local directory "G:\Downloads\K3\3.63"
still exist? if it were deleted that might also cause the same problem.

I think that might mean that the target folder doesn't exist. Try
pressing the Default button on the firmware tab page which changes the
current firmware folder to one that is created, then Check versions
with the copy checkbox checked.

3.63.zip is still in the beta folder, where we first released it, and
its also in the main /firmware folder that is automatically checked and
downloaded by K3 Utility. n unzipping or other manual intervention is
required when K3 Utility grabs it for you.
The beta folder data will be removed soo
The K3 Utility does indeed use WinInet. However clearing the browser
cache shouldn't be necessary as I think I tried to select options to
bypass local cache.
Clearing the cache may not do what you are trying to do unless you use
IE for this cache clearing step. Not all browsers use WinInet.
Eric -
I had just downloaded the zip file from the beta folder and unzipped it.
The check boxes on the utility to upload to the K3 were greyed out. I
restarted the utility (not for the first time) and it recognized that
there were new files on the server.
Downloaded and installed. Happiness re
I understand.

No, it doesn't exist. I expected the utility to create it. I just
changed the path in the 'Local folder' box. I don't know what error
number 3 is, but I interpret the messages as meaning the utility
couldn't find the files on the server. But then I never went to
interpreter school.

Actually, I think it the wininet functions come from the WinInet dll,
not the browser. At least in my program it does. Maybe IE uses that dll?

Wow. When you follow the incremental beta releases it's easy to

Rudolf,
Yes, you can safely upgrade without adding hardware mods.
You must leave CONFIG: VFO MD set to SPI1 (default) until after the K3
VFO Noise Reduction Mod has been installed.
That mod is not difficult - just 2 diodes and 2 resistors (all leaded
parts).

I will leave the default setting to SPI1

May be the hardware mod(s) during this Winter...

I was among those who experienced "audio blast" with a previous release when
operating QSK and subRX together. I've been working DXpeditions split for
the past few hours and don't hear anything untoward with this release.
