Delete the firmware file you have and fetch it again from the Elecraft file server by pressing the "Copy Files from Elecraft" button on the firmware page. You might want to view it in the Mac equivalent of Notepad to see what you have.
The file is supposed to contain characters like 0-9 and A-F, colons in the first column of each line and CR and LF charactersr. This error message says something else was discovered. 73 de Dick, K6KR -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Monday, April 30, 2012 1:18 PM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] P3 FW Error Attempting load of latest P3 FW and get an immediate error message "ERROR: Bad character in BIN file" Latest P3 utility (Mac version 1.12.4.260) indicated latest versions available for sending to the P3 in agreement with the Elecraft site Any suggestions?
