K3 Firmware Production Release MCU 3.79 / DSP 2.54

[Leigh L. Klotz Jr WA5ZNU]

Somehow the official Elecraft message for this isn't showing up so I'm copying this info from their web page:

MCU 3.79  / DSP 2.54  March 17, 2010

Is it exactly the same as the 3.79 version that volunteers were asked to
test?

Hmmm, it worked for me just to run the Elecraft Utility and tell it to check for new firmware.
The link I posted is to the K3 software news page which has all the changes, instructions, etc.
It's not a link to a zip file directly.

Usually Elecraft sends out a mail message about the production and beta releases, but for some reason that mail message is not showing up for me, so I posted this note.

The Elecraft utility shows the same version numbers for the 3.79 beta as
for the current version so I guess there's no reason for me to update.  
The beta version worked without any problems whatsoever.

In Mac OS, I created a folder in Library > Application Support > Elecraft > K3 Firmware and named it k3fw3r79
Then I told the utility to browse for that folder and then "Check Versions Now"
All of the necessary files downloaded as if they had been created from a zip file except that they are labeled as documents vs Unix Executable files.
I have not attempted to load them yet.
