My problem has not been with the firmware, but rather with the computer/amplifier interface.
I have an old desktop computer running XP Pro SP3. I installed the appropriate software from Elecraft per the instructions in the User Manual. However, when I tried to connect the amp to the computer using an FTDI USB-serial interface, my computer crashed--every time. Not only that, but with the interface plugged in, it wouldn't reboot, it just kept cycling through the restart process. I resolved the problem by doing what I should have done in the first place--moved the amp closer to the computer and used a straight serial-serial cable. In so doing, I was reminded of the weight of the amplifier! The Elecraft software indicated that the firmware update was successful; however, as I am currently antenna-less, courtesy Mother Nature, I'll have to wait for a while to see the results. 73, Phil/VE1BVD On Sun, Feb 16, 2014 at 1:03 PM, Phil & Debbie Salas <[email protected]>wrote: > And I'll add my input.
