Current version of Windows K3 Utility ?

[barefoot94040]

The K3UtilityVersionInfo.txt file that came with K3 firmware MCU 04.83
states that 1.4.3.21 is the most current Windows K3 Utility version. Yet
1.13.5.9 is the K3 Utility production version according to
http://www.elecraft.com/K3/k3_software.htm#k3util  Assuming this was a web
page mistake, I hunted for 1.4.3.21 version of K3 Utility with no joy in
either production or beta space.
What's the correct version of K3 Utility to use to install K3 firmware
04.83, and where is it living (hiding?)

The current version of the Windows K3 Utility is on our web site page
http://www.elecraft.com/K3/k3_software.htm

The K3UtilityVersionInfo.txt file is stale.  I'll try to get that changed.

I ran the current update with the wrong version of the K3 Utility and
while the rig was bricked temporarily, it came back to life with no
issues after I discovered the problem.

I did the same a few days ago using an out of date linux K3 Utility.  What
a bad feeling.  :-o

I wonder if the firmware can be distributed with a file (or somehow with
info) indicating the minimum K3 Utility version number required.  That way
an out of date K3 Utility can complain about its aged decrepitness and not
even try to do an update that will fail.
