KX3 Firmware question

I updated my KX3 firmware today and discovered something that
seems a bit strange. Previously, from KX3 Utility Revision 1.13.8.24,
when I choose "Copy New Files from Elecraft" it places them on my
Win7 Pro/64bit machine at:

C:/Users/Jim -
K5LAD/AppData/Roaming/Elecraft/KX3Firmware/fmcu0###

For the two previous times I installed the KX3 firmware, it created a
folder (all beginning as /fmcu0###):

fmcu0227 = MCU 02.27
fmcu0230 = MCU 02.30

but when I installed the most recent version, it installed the MCU
version (02.33) but created the folder for it as /fmcu0300,i.e., /fmcu0300
= MCU 02.33.

Since this is a departure from the previous KX3 firmware installations,
I'm curious if this is a change or an ooops?

73,

Re: KX3 Firmware question

Did the KX3 utility detect the new firmware files and load them onto your radio? If not, it is probably an "oops" where the zip file on the ftp server was prepared incorrectly. In this case, you might need to move the files up a directory level for the utility to find them. If the utility found the files in the new sub directory, then no need to worry, all is good.
