It's possible that we'll rewrite the K3 Downloader software application in VB6, etc., so that .NET won't be needed. The only reason we use .NET now is that I'm a C programmer, and the quickest way for me to get the downloader working was to use Microsoft's C# programming environment. NO - Plea

Even if Mono isn't up to the task, a simple command-line version for Linux and Mac would likely be a fairly easy community project if you provide the C# code. Borrowing a Windows box isn't hard for Linux or Mac users, but it would probably be nicer for some folks. Leigh/WA5ZNU On Wed, 25 Jul

> Do it in Python, make it really portable, and lower cost to maintain. One nice thing about Python, those of us who might prefer a .Net based application could then port it to the .Net world using Iron Python. One other comment: While I have mucho bandwidth at home, I do not have an antenna pe

It is important that one can load the firmware to the K3 from local memory as well as directly from the Elecraft server. The computer I use to update my K3 uses local file copies rather than the 'net, so this is not a problem. 73, Lyle KK7P ___ El
