This could be data corruption while loading the DSP. The DSP load frame contains a prefix and if that prefix is not what the MCU firmware's DSP loader expects, the MCU firmware may interpret the corrupted frame as an old DSP load protocol that we retired a few years ago and issue that diagnostic message on the K3 LCD front panel.
If you have an alternate USB port on your computer, another computer, or USB-to-Serial adapter, give that a try. I'd reload all firmware if it were my radio.

OK, Don, but I already uninstalled my original K3 utility and downloaded the latest version. I'm still getting the same message on my K3. Perhaps I'll uninstall and reinstall eveything all over again. Pulling my hair out, too. It all started when I was operating split this morning to work VP6T on 12m, then I qsy'd to 10m to work them there and later noticed I couldn't hear anything on my sub receiver. Long story short I checked the config menu settings and then started getting the ERR DSE message there (E000202 and E05008d, too) and then the New K3 Utility message cropped up on my screen... Thanks for your help and any other comments/suggestions welcome. I'll post here as soon as I might be succesful (fingers crossed on the DSP2 upload!) 73, Jeff -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/New-K3-utility-software-required-messag e-on-my-K3-tp7212149p7212192.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
