Hi guys, before updating to FW 4.51 last week I wanted to save my current K3 configuration using the K3 Utility but could not succeed. :-( As I saw my last "K3 backup" was over a year old and pre FW 4.42 to which I updated back then for K144RFLK support.
So saving K3 configuration did not work with FW 4.42 and also not with FW 4.51 (so you see I did the FW update anyway ;-)). Serial communication with the K3 works flawlessly, K3 ist recognized by Utility and several other software (loggers, etc.). I could do the FW update without problems so I rule out the serial communication as the cause. When trying to save the config the progress bar either does not start to move or it moves until about half-way and then stops. In both cases I get (the same) error message that it was not possible to read K3 EEPROM and saving config failed after a certain time-out period. Besides this error the K3 itself works flawlessly, all settings are stored and recalled correctly when switching bands or the K3 itself on/off including menu settings so I suppose the EEPROM itself must work correctly, too. Any idea what might be the cause and how to resolve it? Did not try an EEINIT yet because I do not want to setup all menu items by hand again as I would not have an up-to-date configuration backup. :-( Thanks & 73, Olli - DH8BQA K3 #4546 KPA500 #431 KX3 #???
