Hi David, Yes Lion, all updated. Since the download is, as you note, a .zip, I have to un-zip it first, which gives me the .app and the help folder. Yes, the download is K3UtilityOSX_1_12_3_28.zip Mike On 5/2/12 7:17 AM, David Ferrington, M0XDF wrote: Hmmm - I've had it running for some

If you use Safari, it should automatically unzip it for you and place the folder in whichever location you're using for Downloads (this may be different in Lion or it may be some option of S/W I've got installed). There used to be a problem with downloading to the desktop (the default I think)

Hi Mike, I believe I have found the problem. Try downloading this version and see if it solves the hanging issue. http://w4smt.com/K3/3-30-12/K3UtilityOSX_1_12_3_28B.zip David, W4SMT --- On Wed, 5/2/12, Mike n...@nf4l.com wrote: I deleted the .app and .zip and downloaded a fresh copy. Same

No auto un-zip in my Safari, if there's a setting I'm unaware of it. But then I'm unaware of a lot of things. It does go to my Downloads folder. Mike On 5/2/12 9:28 AM, David Ferrington, M0XDF wrote: If you use Safari, it should automatically unzip it for you and place the folder in

In Safari Preferences, look at the General pane. Checking Open safe files after downloading will enable unzipping. Unfortunately it also enables lots of other things. I leave mine unchecked to get the best security. Thus I have to specifically unzip those files also. Better to be safe than

Thanks, Jack. I think I'll leave it to a manual unzip too. 73, Mike NF4L On 5/3/12 11:17 AM, Jack Brindle wrote: In Safari Preferences, look at the General pane. Checking Open safe files after downloading will enable unzipping. Unfortunately it also enables lots of other things. I leave

Hmmm - I've had it running for some time with no problems - but I'm on Snow Leopard, your presumably on Lion (10.7.x). Has anybody else done a clean install into Lion? It should just run, you shouldn't even have to unzip it, it should download (assuming you used Safari), and you get a

Further to this, I do get a dialog 'Error opening serial port' if I don't have the K3 connected to my KUSB and if I accept that (click OK), I get an initialising 'box' for a few seconds and then the App comes up. 73 de David, M0XDF (K3 #174, P3 #108) -- All the world's a stage and most of us

I just downloaded and unzipped the K3 Utility for MAC. When I run it, I get the license agreement and a box that says Initializing, and it hangs there. Can't do anything but quit. I'm a Mac newbie. Does it have to be connected to the rig to work? 73, Mike NF4L

No, a connection is not required. The initializing step does take quite a while — on the order of 10 seconds on my development MacPro. Bill, K1GQ On 2012.05.01, at 09:26, Mike wrote: I'm a Mac newbie. Does it have to be connected to the rig to work?
