K3 Utility revision 1.1.3.6 ?

[k4tmc]

I pulled up Wayne's note from March 7 about the new K3 Firmware (MCU 1.75 /
DSP 1.57), and went to the K3 Software Page to download the latest update
utility (1.1.3.6) that was mentioned.  It's not there.

Can I use the existing utility (1.1.2.28) to download the new firmware and
expect no problems?  Or,  should I wait until the new utility is available?

Can anyone point me to a link on the Elecraft website that addresses the K3
hardware mod history (e.g., the CW keyed waveform mod) as they are cut into
the production cycle?  I began by looking at the Builder's Resource and
Alerts page but found nothing.  Tnx!

You can use any K3 Utility version from 1.0.12.7 forward to load the most
recent firmware.

There are reliability improvements for some USB to Serial Adapter issues and
a bug fix to save/restore config in the newer K3 Utility version, so we are
encouraging people to move forward there as well.

1.1.3.6 was announced a bit too soon. The most recent public version of the
K3 Utility is 1.1.2.28, the one you have. 1.1.3.6 is still in field test.
The new feature in 1.1.3.6 is a terminal tab for CW and RTTY, and it hasn't
received enough testing yet.

Interestingly, while I'm running 1.1.1.28, that program and, apparently
therefore the display on the K3, thinks "a newer K3 Utility Program
is available".

A minor glitch, probably brought about by the premature availability
of 1.1.3.6.

The K3UtilityVersionInfo.txt file was prematurely updated.  If you go to the
Firmware page, check "Copy new files from Elecraft server into local folder"
and click "Check Versions now", the K3 Utility should copy the
k3UtilityVersionInfo.txt file with the proper "current version", 1.1.2.28,
into your local folder, and that message should go away.  The "current
version" should be 1.1.2.28.
