loading new firmware

todd ruby-2
Hi All
I currently have firmware version 4.86 and am trying to upload version 5.14. I am getting drop down warning saying I should verify source and it would not continue with the firmware upgrade. I have the new KSYNTH3a board and am about to install it.  Am I getting this error message because it is not installed yet? Do I need it installed in order to upgrade to version 5.14?

this is the very first time I have ever encountered and issue upgrading firmware.

All advice welcome,

tnx es 73

todd

Todd,

You do not need to install the new synth board(s) before installing the
latest firmware. Just this week, Lyle suggested installing the new firmware
before the board(s).

Todd,

That message sounds like the download could not be verified (checksum
errors, etc.).  I would try downloading again (get files from Elecraft)
and see if that resolves the problem.  Computers are handy, but they are
not "gods".  There is always a chance of downloading a file that turns
out to be corrupt (missing some bits here and there as opposed to being
a file that has been hijacked by some virus).

Todd,

I am of the opinion that you have a bad download.  Try downloading files
from Elecraft again.
