Firmware loading

N8CEP
I loaded the newest firmware into my K3 sucessfully tonight. However I see a lot of retries during the FPF part of the firmware load. Is this normal?  I am using an RS232 cable and COM1(38000,N,8,1). Everything loaded OK but I was wondering if I may have a wrong setting somewhere? 73

I too, experienced some issues.  Be sure you are using the latest utility.
Not all USB to Serial converters are made equal.  I have also found that
connectors and make of adapters have impacts.  Oh, then let's add in the age
of your OS installation.  

When I get errors, if it doesn't load.  Load again using only newer
software.  Seems to get through it for me.  

Good luck.
