In the >3 years of running my K3 I can only remember once having to do a forced reload and it was completely straightforward.....don't understand the stress this seems to generate.
Since moving to a netbook recently I've been rebooting my desktop every time I wanted to do a firmware upload using a hardware serial port; but I do remember in the past uploading through my Microham CW Keyer via Router with minimal fuss (though can't remember the reason for the previous forced upload...!). So when I needed to upgrade from v4.22 a couple of days ago I thought I'd try the Router again and it went without a hitch and saved all the booting up and swapping cables in the spider infested mess at the back of my underdesk PC. Ofcourse I went into the set up on Router and set to 'No Radio' and 'Disable Router Queries'. You can if you wish store these settings under separate profiles for a single click setup. If it doesn't work and you end up with a 'brick' I can always switch on my desktop PC and do a forced upload via rs232 - what's the panic? 73, Stewart Rolfe, GW0ETF Don Wilhelm-4 wrote: > > > Bottom line - don't load firmware through a Microham device and expect > good results. > > 73, > Don W3FPR > > r -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Fwd-K3-Failed-DSP-Firmware-Download-tp5996916p5999616.html Sent from the [K3] 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
