Manual File Transfer

If it is inconvenient for you to access the internet from the computer attached to your K3, but you have access to another computer that can access the internet, you may update your K3 firmware in two phases:

  1. Use an internet browser or FTP client program to copy firmware files from Elecraft's file server to a removable storage device such as a USB "keychain" flash memory device.
  2. Take the removable storage device to a computer that is connected to your K3. Use the K3 Utility to send firmware to your K3.

An up-to-date K3 Utility version may be required. If the internet-connected computer is some distance from your K3, consider copying the current K3 Utility setup program file to the removable storage device so that can be installed on the computer connected to your K3.
