You *CAN NOT* do a firmware upload via any microHAM "keyer" interface.
The K3 utility will not work with microHAM Router because it forces a
reboot of the transceiver which in turn cycles power to the interface.
Every microHAM Users Manual includes a very explicit warning about
doing firmware uploads of any transceiver using the microHAM interface.
Get a USB to serial adapter or use a plain serial port for the firmware
uploads.

get another one, or use a real serial port if the computer has one.
The computer needs to be connected directly to the P3 with no
intervening devices when you load firmware.

Perhaps I should uninstall the interface program and reinstall it
again. I have a USB to Serial Port Male cable, but windows 10 told
me that it didn't have a driver for it. I will have to try this
once I get home from work. Thanks! Mark Griffin, KB3Z

Hi Mark,
For firmware loading you should connect the K3 (or P3 if you have
one) directly to the computer, not via the Digi Keyer or any
similar device.

Hi Vic, Nice to hear from Israel. I haven't visited your country
since the late 90's. I read about the forcing of the Firmware on
page 45 of the manual. My problem is that with my computer keeps
polling for a connection with my K3. Either I have to purchase a
direct cable from my PC to the K3 or make some changes with my
Digi Keyer. I have been running the connection between the Digi
Keyer II and my K3 on Com Port 6. But it keeps searching
different speeds on Com Port 6 and cannot connect. I'm sure once
I solve that issue I will be able to force load the new firmware.
Computer are just so much fun!!! HA HA. Thanks again! Mark

There's a procedure described in the K3 Utility Help menu under
'troubleshooting' called Forcing the K3 into "Firmware Load
Required" Mode. Follow this procedure.

I am sending this message again, as it seems my first message
never made it to the board. I was trying to load the new
Firmware into my K3. Well for some reason we had a power blip
during a storm and now my K3 is stuck in MCU LD. Right now the
screen in dark when power is applied and MCU LD is on the
screen. The Red TX light is flashing and after a period of time
it will then go to the Delta F light which will flash yellow. I
cannot connect to my K3 via my computer because I'm sure it's
because it is stuck in the MCU LD error. How does one reset
their K3. I read about the EE Init where I Held in the
Shift/Lo button while pressing the Power button and nothing
Plus to get the K3 out of this state I need to shut off the
power supply. Every button is totally useless. Perhaps I need
to call the people at Elecraft once I get home from work this
afternoon. Hopefully someone on the board will have a solution
or someone from elecraft will see this message and help!
Thanks! Mark Griff in, KB3Z
