Manual File Transfer

If it is inconvenient for you to access the internet from the computer attached to your KPA500, but you have access to another computer that can access the internet, you may update your KPA500 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 KPA500. Use the KPA Utility to send firmware to your KPA500.

An up-to-date KPA Utility version may be required. If the internet-connected computer is some distance from your KPA500, consider copying the current KPA Utility setup program file to the removable storage device so that can be installed on the computer connected to your KPA500.
