[Elecraft] K3 firmware update failure

2015-03-30 Thread GDR
Sort of related to your problem... Last week I bought the PX3 for my KX3. The PX3 required a much later firmware installed in the KX3 than was in it (I had not kept it current; if it ain't broke, don't fix it mentality). So, I downloaded the current KX3 utility, got the latest firmware and

Steve, Are you using the latest K3 Utility? If not, download that first. Then follow the instructions in the K3 Utility help file to force a K3 firmware load. You must unplug the power from the K3, not just cycle with the power button. If that does not work, perhaps Dick will help you.
