k3 utility problem

[n2uz]

I have been away for about a year operating my k3 using Ubuntu and
Fldigi and I am just getting back into radio mode.  Of course, with a
new pc, new version of Ubuntu etc...there are some problems brought on
my my forgetfulness.

Now am running the current version of Ubuntu and I just downloaded the
K3 utility version v1.3.9.2 and when I click on 'Check Versions now"   I
get...... Unable to connect to Elecraft server. Error: 127

This is my activity log....
16:55:07 Elecraft K3 Utility for Linux Version 1.3.9.2
16:55:10 K3 MCU version 03.04. RS232 speed 4800 bps.
16:55:14 Connecting to ftp.elecraft.com. Please be patient, this takes a
few seconds.
16:55:14 Unable to connect to Elecraft server. Error: 127

Other problem is that I am using Fldigi and so far I am able to get a
receive display, but not able to transmit,  looks like a PTT problem as
the K3 doesn't go into xmit.  I am using  Hamlib, but my bad notes from
last year had me using RigCat.

First I want to get the K3 updated and then I will look into the
transmit problem.

RigCAT is probably your better option until the next release of Hamlib
as I've reworked the K3 code and it works rather well here.  The only
thing is that it's in the source repository.  If you're not afraid of
compiling from source, drop me a line off-kist and I can help you with
it.

Did you install cURL on the new Ubuntu installation?
