Can anybody explain???

[JIM DAVIS-11]

Gentlemen,

Ever since I purchased my own "K3" (circa Dec.2008) the revisions that have been posted on
"Elecraft-Website" have operated as/per claimed specs. But yet out here after almost being
overwhelmed by
complaints from many users that for whatever reason, FOR THEM THEY DON'T WORK!"

Why is it that myself and others have had joyous experiences with the "latest & greatest
revisions"
and others have cried "foul!"??? Or have wondered why "Elecraft has failed them in some respect!

I'm NO "Johnny-come-lately" in Ham Radio (46yrs), but I might interject that since as of late
having owned the "TT-Orion" and now the "K3" that the aforementioned "Orion" has a lot more
"catch-up-work" to do
to get where the "K3" is NOW!!!

OH! By the way, it's only my OWN OPINION!!!

I suspect that the reason that many people who have problems with the
firmware revision is that they start twiddling with their K3 before the
upload is completed.  The MCU firmware uploads first, followed by DSP1
(& DSP2 if KRX3 fitted) and then the Front Panel firmware. During the
upload the K3 can burst into life at various stages.  When it does, I
people may be tempted to start using their K3.  The rule is to WAIT
until READY shows on the K3 Utility.
