Hi: I'm having a problem with my KX3 when I attempt to upload new firmware.
1) The radio is communicating with the program -- when I test communications, I get a reply from the utility indicating "KX3 waiting for firmware upload. RE-232 sped 38400 bit/s" ( pic1 <http://i993.photobucket.com/albums/af58/andyvavra/Case/pic1_zps47e6ea9c.jpg> ). 2) I have downloaded the latest firmware files from the Elecraft website and placed them in the default folder. 3) When I attempt the check versions however, the utility is not reading the firmware installed in the KX3 and the options to send firmware remain greyed-out. ( pic2 <http://i993.photobucket.com/albums/af58/andyvavra/Case/pic2_zpsa118b9c0.jpg> ) 4) I have uninstalled and reinstalled the KX3 Utility. I am running version 1.12.8.11 and my operating system is Windows 7. 5) When I check the FW REVS directly in the KX3 using the menu function, it tells me that I have firmware uC 01.36 installed. I am hesitant to to a hard reset of the KX3 out of concern that I may not be able to reload new firmware if the program and radio aren't correctly communicating. Except for this problem loading firmware, the radio appears to be functioning correctly. Has anyone else experienced this problem, and what actions did you take to correct it? Thanks. -- Andy Vavra KD3RF/VE2DXY -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/KX3-utility-not-reading-firmware-installed-in-KX3-tp7572038.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:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
