Hi Gang

been reading or lurking in the background for several days,, enjoy the
help I see
going around. I built my K3 2 years ago and had a ball getting it going,,
did the 10 watt
version and then spent that up the amp, tuner everything but the second
rcv.
now I added the P3 and need to do updates
never done them before,, the latest is about a year old
I have the cable
I have the software
but
not the courage

when I plug in the cable to the computer and make it com 4 it tries to
access the K3
so I assume that is GOOD

so what is the process ?
connect the rs232 cable to a powered on K3,,, select rout all files to
the K3,, do the update check
and just set back and letter happen ??
will I get an indication that the K3 is up dated and happy ? anything
happening on the K3 display ?

then disconnect the RS232,, power cycle and reconnect things back up,,
antenna,, mike,, P3

how long is the average time take to do it
I am OK with High speed Inet

Hi Bob,

The K3 Utility program has an excellent help system.  If you go into the
"Getting Started" section it should tell you what you need to know.
Basically, you connect an RS-232 cable between the computer and the K3,
fire up P3 Utility, and follow the directions.

It is easiest if you use a computer that is connected to the Internet.
That way K3 Utility can find and download the latest firmware
automatically.

73,
