I have successfully un-bricked my K3.
No attempt to load 4.83 would work. Even after updating to the current version
of the utility and trying a different USB/Serial device.
However, I was able to successfully load the 4.67 firmware. After I did that, I
did a Send New Firmware to K3
Excellent! I'm very glad to hear that, Bill.

You can get more detail about the problem by pulling down the View

I noticed this weekend that Elecraft had updated the firmware (not beta) back
in February. So, today, I thought I would try to update mine.
However, it fails during the FPF load EVERY TIME:

PS - the specific error I get is:
“FPF Programming Failed.
“Verify file source and revision. Turn the K3 off and back on, then re-try the
firmware load.”
I’ve re-downloaded the files from Elecraft a couple of times using the K3
Utility. I’ve powered off and on many times.
Suggestions??

Maybe try deleting the firmware files from your computer and then download
them from Elecraft and try again? I think I've heard that sometimes files
can get corrupted when being downloaded.
Good luck and73,

Are you using the latest K3 utility? If not try upgrading that first.

Bill,
Try this - first download the latest K3 Utility and get the new firmware
files as usual (Check for New Firmware).
Then using the Advanced tab of K3 Utility, Check the DSP1 box and
click Load checked firmware.
When that completes, do the same for the FPF loading only that firmware.
Are you using a USB/Serial adapter? If you have another one of a
different type, or a real COM port, you might try them instead

Yes, if course I’m using a USB/Serial adapter. This is a MacBook, after all.
I don’t have one of a different type handy. It’s just weird that the MCU
firmware downloads 100% ok each time, but the FPF does not. Why that would be a
serial port problem is beyond me….
Unfortunately, Macs have
Hmmm ... OK Bill. Here's my experience, yours may vary for a variety of
reasons but for what it's worth:
I've never had a Mac and know nothing about them. I *have* had
occasional problems with the uploads from my Windoze XP and subsequently
Windoze 7 laptops. So far, in all cases,
One place to find old FW versions is the beta archives on your own computer.
Betas are same as released FW with same number. I think Elecraft also has old
beta FW on beta site.
