Re-loading earlier version firmware ?

[Jack Colson]

Before I upgraded to version 2.16 using the K3 Utility software I saved
the present (original) configuration.

I have since updated to version 2.20 and wanted to go back to see how
the rig worked using the earlier version.

Again using the utility software I go to configurations and see two
files, each having a date/time stamp.

I select the first file and upload it to the rig.  The screen goes blank
for a bit.  You don't see the normal MCU LD,FPF, etc like with a normal
firware upgrade.

The transceiver went back to an earlier frequency and I checked the
firmware and it is still 2.20.

Something is amiss with what I am doing!

Help!

"Restore configuration" does not reload the K3's firmware.  If you want to
restore the prior firmware, you'll need to point the K3 Utility to a
firmware folder containing the desired firmware version and load it from
there.
