Craig, The last few times I have attempted downloads to my K3 they failed and it took a few days to get it running again.
I've ended up having to remove the K3 from my station setup, and put it on my work bench where I have a "Vintage PC" with a native serial port. Baring the remote possibility that Elecraft comes up with a more sophisticated system for doing these down loads, my plan is to limit doing these in the future to about once a year, due to their being such a PITA. The problem seems to be a general lack of robustness and intelligence in the K3's bootstrap loader. For my money, a less simple minded method of doing these updates would be a welcomed new feature. 73 Jack KZ5A K3 #4165 On 2/5/2011 8:28 PM, [email protected] wrote: > > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: K3 Failed DSP Firmware Download > Date: Sat, 05 Feb 2011 18:21:05 -0800 > From: [email protected]<[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > > > > I hope someone can help me as I tried to update the firmware onto my K3 > this afternoon.
