Try the P3 "RS-232" menu selection and the firmware release notes file available from the P3 Utility Help menu describes the new firmware version changes.
The new firmware version and P3 Utility add two new speeds, 57,600 and 115,200 bps. The P3 Utility tries all the baud rates and settles on the one it gets responses for, as it always has. 115,200 may be a bit dicey for image transfers and it doesn't work at all for firmware load. I can't transfer images at 115,200 bps reliably here. Others are having difficulty transferring a full image. Consider 115,200 "experimental" for now, we're debating its value. Firmware load for the SVGA and FPGA may occur at 38400 or 57600 bps. If the P3 is set to 57600 before starting firmware load, the P3 MCU is loaded at 38400 bps and the SVGA and FPGA are loaded at 57,600 bps. It's a little faster, but not a lot faster. 115,200 isn't working for firmware load, so the P3 Utility doesn't even try. 73 de Dick, K6KR -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of n...@n5ge.com Sent: Tuesday, March 13, 2012 9:15 AM To: 'Elecraft Reflector' Subject: [Elecraft] P3 baud rates I can't find the installation instructions for the P3SVGA on the web site. I installed the latest firmware and utility for the P3 last night and noticed that the utility now tries to start with two new baud rates before settling at 38400. Where can I find an explanation of the use of the new available baud rates for the P3? I saw a post last night where these new baud rates were referred to, so I'd like to know how to use them please. 73, Tom Amateur Radio Operator N5GE ARRL Lifetime Member QCWA Lifetime Member Sent from my Tripod ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net 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:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
