I just completed the assembly of my P3 serial number 878 (went together very smoothly!). Connected it to my K3 and powered them on - no problems, nice sharp display on the P3.

Prior to doing this, I had gone to the Elecraft web site and downloaded the current Mac OS X version of the P3 Utility, version 1.3.8.25. When I try to run the P3 Utility, I immediately get the following error:

"An exception of class NilObjectException was not handled. This application must shut down."

I am running this on a MacBook Air laptop, with OS X 10.6.5

I've re-booted the computer and still get the error.

Elecraft support is deservedly taking a holiday break, so I thought I'd see if anyone on the reflector may have come across the error. Any ideas?
