K3/0 Mini When will you fix the firmware?

mackmc
I own the K3/0 Mini and as you know the firmware has a timeout issue where after about 90 seconds of transmission the rig recycles. This causes a loss of connectivity back to the K3.

Since this is a known critical defect to Elecraft, when will you fix it?

Mack, you can solve this by downgrading the firmware of the mini to the next earlier version. You do this, as I recall, by connecting a USB cable to the mini and running the K3 utility program.  I did it a long time ago, and I don't recall all the steps.  Brandon at Elecraft talked me through it.

Brian,

Thank you! I suppose that is a compromise solution.
