K3 Firmware Reload Reminder

[K5WA]

I know this gets mentioned regularly but it sure worked for me today.  I got
a very strange behavior after loading FW 4.25.  My S meter would jump to
full scale whenever I reduced the bandwidth below 500 Hz and the RX would go
dead.  After a lot of head scratching and unplugging of cables to eliminate
issues, I reloaded 4.25 and everything just worked perfectly again.  I guess
the bits and bytes get crossways occasionally and a nice reload puts
everything back in order.  I hope you think of this faster than I did if you
ever need a bit of help.

73,
Bob K5WA

Also, remember to turn the K3 power off and then on after loading
firmware.
