Since this is BETA firmware it may have some bugs and features yet to be implemented. Also note that using BETA firmware may alter your saved settings within the P3/SVGA. Use at your own risk, but please forward any comments, requests or bugs to me.
Here's how to download and install the firmware on your P3/SVGA: 1) Follow this link and download the .zip file to your computer: ftp://ftp.elecraft.com/P3/firmware/beta/SVGA_0105BETA.zip 2) extract all the files and place them in a temporary folder. In the temporary folder you should have several files, make sure p3m0117.hex and p3s0105.hex exist. 3) start P3 utility and verify that the version of the P3 utility is 1.12.4.26 , you will need this version in order to download ALL the firmware to the P3 & SVGA boards. If you don't have this version, it can be downloaded at: http://www.elecraft.com/software/P3/P3_Utility_Setup_1_12_4_26.exe 4) Make sure the P3 is connected to your computer over the serial port on the back. 5) Start the P3 utility and click on the firmware tab. 6) Click on the BROWSE button and navigate to the temporary folder you extracted all the files to. Click OK. 7) Then click on SEND ALL FIRMWARE TO P3. 8) All firmware will now download to the P3/SVGA board. Once the firmware has downloaded you press the MENU button on the P3 and verify that the firmware version is 1.17,. After that you should be able to access the menu selections on the P3. I also would strongly suggest reading the enclosed Quick Start Guide pdf file (in the .zip file package) 73, Paul -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/P3-Beta-firmware-available-Data-terminal-mode-tp7559633p7559760.html Sent from the Elecraft 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
