So, I'm doing battle with my least favorite piece of Elecraft gear to manage...my KRC2.
A while ago it started acting funky and after a lot of hassle I was able to update the firmware (though it was already current). At that same time I must have updated the bandmap but only now realized that it's not correct. For the life of me with various PC's both with real and with USB-->Serial dongles the most I can do is re-flash the firmware, consistently; but I *cannot* write a new bandmap. Typically the config tool will see the KRC2 once and spit out the 1.6 firmware notice; after that in order for it to be seen again, I have to power cycle it, at which point I've tried to shove a bandmap on it, but it always fails, and never seems to have the changes I've made. I would just wire-OR the 3 bands of interest; but; whatever map is in there does not activate those 3 bands, ever, yet, due to another mapping, they do still source 12V as they should, just not when I need them to! Is there _any_ way to put a bandmap in by hand that doesn't use the config tool? Is the format documented so I could generate it myself and put it on via an alternate method? I'm not concerned with whether or not I'd need to write some software of my own to do this.. I just want the thing to function for me again! 73, Joe KC0VKN ______________________________________________________________ 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
